Johnson's Jingle

Hello Family and Friends! I am going to try to be a faithful blogger. Now that Liam is here I know it is important to keep you updated via photos and videos…so hopefully this will work! I apologize in advance for my dorky voice on the videos. In all honesty, they are kinda embarrassing but Liam is cute in them. So you might be wondering what life is like now with a baby and a house so I thought I would give you a rundown…feel free to skip to the pictures if you don’t want to read my rambling….that is typically what I do on other people’s blogs

A day in the life of The Johnson Family:

7:00-10:00 Liam typically wakes up and I stumble to put on a pot of coffee. Then turn on, “My Friends” as I lovingly refer to Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieria, Al Roker, and Ann Curry on the Today show. Feed and play with the baby…the first hour is his golden hour and he coos and smiles away. Around 8 he starts getting fussy and I put him back down for a nap, while I exercise and get ready for the day.

10:00-4:00 When Liam gets up from his morning nap we have our “Jesus time” (yes I have gotten really good at the silly baby talk). I remind him daily this is the most important part of our day! We are reading through Proverbs together, I usually remind him what we learned the previous day and are working on. Yesterday we learned about how the wise man loves to be corrected, that is something I have been praying for Liam as I know it is not my strong point! Today I found a good one that convicted me and made me laugh in Proverbs 11:22 “As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.” There is one for the bathroom mirror! Then we pray for Scott, family, and friends. One neat thing during this time is that I read out loud and pray out loud…Liam becomes very verbal too…cooing away, I love the little sounds he makes.

Then we play, he swings, or sits in his bouncer while I pickup and clean the house.

At 2 I put him in our front room for his nap, it is the darkest and coolest room in the house (we don’t have A.C.). Yay! Now I get time to finish up cleaning, get on the computer, and if it was a night without much sleep I go down for a nap too!

4:00-7:30 Scott comes home around 5:30/6 and gives me a kiss first (because I am most important.) then sweeps Liam up and plays/takes a cat nap/changes a diaper. Can I just brag at what a great dad he is? He is really great with Liam and provides me with lots of relief when he is home. After dinner we give Liam a bath, feed him, and put him down. Unfortunately 4-bedtime is usually Liam’s most fussy time so poor Scott sees him during these hours unless it is the weekend.

That is typically our day, not always the same times but usually the same order of events. Liam is bringing us so much joy, we can’t believe the Lord blessed us with him but are ever so thankful!
