Ever since little Drew Hazel East was born on October 29, 2019, her mom, Shawn Johnson, has been dutifully taking and sharing so many adorable pictures.
Shawn is a mom who keeps it real. She has a YouTube channel about her life and she’s not afraid to be honest about the ups and downs of motherhood. So, it’s not surprising that Shawn Johnson’s Instagram is full of relatable mom moments.
From the chic mom fashion (usually spit-up-covered clothing) to the sleepless nights, Shawn documents the lows and highs of being a first-time mom. If ever we feel like we’re alone, it’s nice to know that even celebs experience some of the same struggles that we do. We’re all in this together, mamas!
Here are 20 times that Shawn totally understood us as moms.
The importance of getting out
Matching our kiddos
Shawn captioned this photo, “Already the obnoxious mom that matches her little girl,” but we’ve all been there. It’s hard to resist the urge to match our kids’ clothes to our own — and why should we resist? Even Kate Middleton matches with Princess Charlotte all the time.
Decorating early just for baby
Truth be told, Baby Drew probably had no idea that it was the holiday season, but it’s so fun to get all excited about Christmas with a newborn. Shawn decorated in November, shortly after Drew’s birth.
“Who else has their Christmas decorations up already?! We had to do it for Drew this year. The lights are her favorite!” she wrote.
Family photos are rarely perfect
Sure, Drew is crying up a storm here in her very first Thanksgiving family photo, but that’s real life. Family pictures where everyone looks perfect and the baby isn’t crying are rare, so we just have to enjoy the moments the best we can anyway. Shawn sure did, writing that she was so thankful for her beautiful little family — screaming baby and all.
Enjoying a chill holiday
“This sums up our entire holiday plans … cuddles,” Shawn captioned this photo of her and Drew lounging in their comfy clothes. The holiday season should be for rest and relaxation — even if it doesn’t always go that way. This mama’s got it on lock!
Smiling after a 'pooplosion'
This might look like a totally cute family pic (and it is!), but Shawn revealed in the caption that it was taken right after little Drew had a “pooplosion.” Happens to the best of us. Just gotta laugh it off, like she did.
Feels about the baby getting older
We don’t understand how babies grow up so fast. It really is like you blink and you’ll miss it, so we totally understand how Shawn feels about her little one turning 1 month old.
“All I can think about is that she’s basically in kindergarten … cue mommy meltdown,” Shawn captioned the pic.
Where does the time go?
