In her own Instagram post on Sunday, Johnson celebrated Mother's Day with a heartfelt caption about her love for her son, alongside a video of Rome laughing from a high chair as she made silly faces for him.

"Motherhood. For me it has been 16 months of endless learning, full of adventure watching my little one grow/discover the world around him, loving an amount I didn’t know I was capable of, and filled with lots of tears," she began her caption.

"Happy tears, sad tears, scared tears, overwhelmed tears. Honestly just an abundance of crying comes with the role of 'Mama.' Its been absolutely beautiful, messy, exhilarating, and every second being this boy’s Mom has truly been the happiest time in my life," she continued. "I've been lucky enough to have INCREDIBLE role models surround me as Mom’s and for that I am forever grateful. Happy Mother’s Day to all 💘."

He will sit in silence and just observe, which is one of my favorite things to witness. -His favorite word is Papa. -He is very active and keeps us on our toes. Loves playing at the park, chaising the dogs around the house, and runs a 5k marathon in his walker daily. -He has an incredibly strong personality 😳 He is stubborn yet sensitive. He knows exactly what he wants and what he doesn’t and will let you know. -He is the snuggliest baby… just like his parents :) Loves hugs, kisses, and lots of cuddles. Can’t believe we get to raise this boy and receive his love daily!”
