Matti Laughing

Today was a big day for everyone. Mommy had a birthday, my new cousin/playmate Emma Katherine (she was a whopping 10 pounds) was born, and I decided to laugh out loud. I thought mommy's birthday balloon was funny.
I had a busy day at school. My teacher read a book of nursery rhymes to me while I was waiting for mommy to pick me up. The teacher was very animated. I listened and grinned as she read the book and acted out some of the parts.
I also really like the "Cow jumped over the moon" murial on the wall in my classroom. It also made me smile this morning. So I guess you can say "I had a good day"!
Mom and Dad are so silly sometimes. They try so hard to make me laugh and all it took was a balloon on a string to do the trick.
Here is a clip of me laughing this evening.

Is Mattison Rolling Over?

The past few days I have noticed Mattison rocking and rolling around on her back. I decided to get my video camera just in case and captured her rolling from back to stomach which is backwards from what she should be doing, which is just fine. It makes me a little nervous watching her do this because she still does not know how to lift her head once she is over so I am afraid she will do this at night and get in a jam that she cannot get out of, but on the other hand this is the only way she can learn to roll from back to front and front to back. I have attached a video of this for all to see. Please ignore the commentary-I am a nervous mother and do not want her to smother!!! HA.
Mattison is really enjoying Preschool. She smiles at her teachers every morning and is worn completely out in the evening when we get home. When I picked her up yesterday she was sitting in a bouncy seat with another baby beside her and they were playing, kicking, and doing a lot of cooing! I am so proud of her. She is such an angel.
We have finally settled into a routine and as hard as it was to go back to work, Mattison has adapted well and has made this transition much easier on us!

Mattison Grace has arrived.

My name is Mattison Grace Newton. I was born December 17, 2007. I was 8 Pounds and 2 Ounces and 20 inches long. I was born at 9:24am on a Monday morning.
Let me updated you on what has been going on in my life since I was born.
I am three months old now. I have grown so much over the past few months.
Everyone thinks I am a mixture of my parents. I am not sure who I look like the most. My Nanna thinks I look just like her!
I have discovered my feet and hands the past few weeks and I love to put them in my mouth. I have finally starting liking tummy time a little, but I get aggravated when I cannot get my hands on a toy that may be out of reach.
Yesterday was my first day of school. Mommy and Daddy both dropped me off. We all wanted to cry. I received a great report card at the end of the day and my teachers call me Princess.
This morning while mommy was getting me ready for my second big day of school I decided it was time to laugh out loud for her. My cousin Donna gave me a bright pink pull toy dog that I love. I do not go anywhere without him. I reached out to pull him and it was funny so I decided to laugh. Mommy had tears and just kissed my face.
I am so glad Mommy decided to start a blog for me since all of my cousins are already one step ahead. I have a cousin Carter who was born in January and my cousin Emma should be here by next week. I am looking forward to sharing a lot of memories with them.
