Zoe wants a snack

I will be returning to work in less than three weeks, so the pressure to get Zoe to take a bottle is building. While I have become very adept at the bait and switch method, this is not a workable solution for Max. However, Max has come up with his own method of feeding Zoe. While it might be a little lacking in finesse, it will do wonders for getting rid of any residual sympathy weight.

The Maxie Method for Feeding Zoe
1) Prop Zoe up on the couch and wedge her upright between cushions/pillows
2) Proceed to dance in front of her while singing the Blue Monkey or Daddy Dance Song

3) Wave left hand in front of her face as a further distraction
4) Take pre-warmed bottle in right hand and put in her mouth when she starts to smile

5) Increase volume of song, speed of hand waving as needed

Although a bit labor intensive, Zoe will take a bottle this way.
