The newborn weighed eight pounds and 11 ounces at birth and is the couple’s first child. The Bowmanville couple named their child after her maternal great-grandfather, George, whom she met earlier in the morning after her arrival.

“Georgia Elizabeth Morris is named after my grandfather, George,” said Vanessa. “She’s so calm and relaxed. We’re very much in love with her, it’s just wonderful.”

“We’re very excited! There’s lots to learn as first-time parents, and we’re already learning a lot in such a short period of time,” said Jake. “It’s amazing how quickly your life can change and we’re just so happy.”
