He is beautiful! We loved the video, but you have to let us hear him cry. Newborn cries are the best.

Awesome Ty! I’m so excited to meet Shepard soon. Such a special and exciting time! We are all so blessed with this beautiful, healthy little guy. Please keep posting pics :) I’m living vicariously via facebook and your blog. I bet it feels great to be a Dad. Congrats Ty!

Ty this brings tears to the eyes of Shepard’s Auntie Ann. Rhea looks so serene; in a place
of spirit she has waited for all of her life. “My son”. . . what a life altering gift for you. An
incredible father you will be. I think of all or the incredible moments ahead for you two now that Shepard is here. Love U

Just one question, how in the world did you find the time to put this together?

So sweet. I’m a little worried that Rex is going to be neglected. :) Best wishes to you all.

- Amy Levi + 3.15.10 | 9:39 am

I meant Jax, not Rex. Sorry Jax. I hope Jax continues to be a part of the Mattson family Christmas card. xoxo

Oh, Ty. This was absolutely amazing. Beautiful, beautiful. How great to capture this and have it for the rest of your lives. Welcome to the world, Shepard!

- Michelle Doerr + 3.15.10 | 12:06 pm

Fantastic! Loved the end, where he starts rooting that little tongue around & then starts to cry– where’s mama, this guy’s hungry! Welcome to the coolest chapter of your life!

- Angela Davis + 3.15.10 | 12:10 pm

Bro! Great stuff! Nice work on the baby and the movie! Best Picture Nomination! :)

- Jeff Rogers + 3.15.10 | 4:01 pm

SO beautiful, Ty!! I especially loved how you captured your Dad’s expression of pure and immediate unconditional love. My second fave was how you showed how SOON Shepard figured out where he wants to be……”to HECK with the funny plastic hospital bin – I wanna be on my mommy’s (or daddy’s) chest!!”
Bin = cry
Chest = sheer bliss
Conclusion = My grandson is one smart boy!!

- Grammie Griff + 3.16.10 | 11:14 am

What an insight into the miracles you get to witness. Beautiful!

- Karissa Finley + 3.17.10 | 7:57 pm
