Going Out with Zoe

I am a pretty restless person and I hate to stay cooped up inside if the weather is nice, so I try and take Zozo out everyday. I have recently started going out without the stroller and putting her either in the Baby Bjorn or if it's a short trip in my arms facing outwards so she can look around. It tends to work quite well as long as
a) I am moving at a brisk pace
b) there is someone standing within 1 foot of her smiling and telling her how cute she is

I have found that satisfying (b) is not too difficult because Zozo is not only irresistible to immediate family, but also to perfect strangers. Older women are particularly fond of her, but she also has the same effect on more macho types. I was walking past a construction site and two burly guys started cooing over her and pinched her cheeks. In Pete's coffee shop a late-teen/early 20's fellow did the same thing. Zoe was also regaled with accolades from a long haired, eyeliner wearing gentleman in the bookstore. All of this within 45 minutes and a two block radius.
