At the beginning of the video, Johnson and her husband were seen spending time with Jett James in a hospital room following his birth. 

The athlete then enjoyed a visit from a set of her son’s grandparents, who appeared excited to meet their new grandchild.

A second set of grandparents later visited the couple and one of the kid’s grandfathers gave the baby boy his first combover.

Jett James was then seen having his footprints taken by a nurse, and East commented that his son had a very good ‘reach’ when he stretched his arms out.

The 29-year-old professional football player humorously noted that his son was ‘going to the spa’ when he had his head washed.

The couple was also seen FaceTiming former Olympian Nastia Liukin, who appeared to be happy to see that Johnson was doing well after giving birth.

The former gymnast was recorded holding her son’s birth certificate, and East commented that their child was a ‘real registered person.’

Johnson then dressed her son up in a green robe, and although his father commented that he should be happy to be in his ‘first outfit,’ Jett James cried out when his mother tried to get him covered up.

A brief message was added to the video’s description where the parents noted that they had been enjoying their time with their son ever since his birth.
