Sophia & Autumn



This is Autumn, Mike & Sharaze's baby. They came to visit and the girls had their first external-utero meeting! We had a lot of fun- and apparently Sophia likes the way Autumn tastes!

Sophia Pics





Wow, Sophia is getting so big. Above are some pics of her and Daddy and her with Grandpa Johnson. Also, a pic of Brian mowing his first lawn!

At two months Sophia is 9lbs. 15oz...now some may think that's pretty small, but considering she got down to 5lbs. 10oz. after birth she's getting big! AND...she rolled over for the first time on Sunday! We made her do it 5 more times after that just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but she hasn't done it again since so who knows.


A couple of things I've learned from experience in the past few weeks being a mommy:

1. When doing "tummy time" make sure to change her diaper first. If you don't, the poop shifts to the front and out the top of the diaper.

2. DO NOT play too rough after feeding her. If you raise her up over your head repeatedly she WILL most certainly puke in your hair...

We're back!

Well, it's been a whirlwind few weeks: had a baby, bought a house, moved into that house (with lots of help from Brian's dad), and unpacking- still. Then, when I (Andi) was ready to start working out and getting in shape, my back seized up and wasn't able to walk...or even hold Sophia. So Brian's mom made it in to help me and she got to spend some time with her little granddaughter.

So...I'm back at the studio and the gym; Brian's back to running. Life is starting to settle into a routine- finally! We also have our first "booked" visitors to Hotel Johnson- Mike, Sharaze, and Autumn Colley are coming to visit- yay!

We're also getting ready for the holidays: Sophia's first Halloween, first Thanksgiving, first Christmas. Our neighborhood is full of kids: 13 on our block alone all under the age of 9! Halloween's going to be pretty fun- TONS of trick-or-treaters so we'll be stocking up on candy to give out. It'll be quite an experience with Jake barking at the door all night!

For Thanksgiving we'll be spending the holiday with Brian's sis & boyfriend, and hopefully his parents here in Colorado. We're planning on attending the Nebraska/Colorado game and maybe do some snowboarding. Then Christmas in Michigan with my fam.

Well, that's about it for now, I'm working on getting some pics up once I get a little organized so stay posted!
