Time in the Upright Position

Julia is spending a lot of time in the upright position these days. She still needs a little support, but I think she enjoys seeing things from a different angle. Mom, Dad and Sarah came over last night and hung out during Julia's nightly routine. She wakes up from her second nap of the day around 6:30 or 7. Then she plays until around 8 which is her dinner time. Last night, she ate rice cereal, sweet potatoes, green beans, and bananas with apples and pears. She even had some apple juice that she drinks from a cup. She hasn't quite figured out the sippy cup yet. After her dinner, she takes a bath, and then we play and get dressed for bed. She is usually asleep by around 10.

After everyone left, Julia got her first electric guitar lesson with John. She has already mastered the acoustic guitar, so John thought it was time for her to move to the "real deal." (Keep in mind that most people are not allowed to touch his guitars.) However, Julia can slobber all over it and he thinks it is the cutest thing!

I think John was starting to miss his guitars because they are all downstairs and he won't go down there during the day with Julia. So this week, he brought his pignose amp upstairs along with his electric guitar so he could get his fix. I leaned this pen up against the amp so you can see the size of it. Our deal was that he would keep all of his music stuff downstairs, but this little noisemaker is the perfect, unobtrusive size for it's new spot in the living room.
