A whirlwind update-
1) Zoe happily drinks from her bottle. At first it was only the Magical Adiri Bottles with their uncanny resemblance to a silicon breast filled with actual breast milk, but now she will drink from any bottle and copious amounts any type of formula. I am pleased to report that Zoe is pursuing her goal of becoming the fattest baby in the world, able to crush the other babies in her pursuit of more milk.
2) Max survived a month off of work taking care of Zozo. He was almost as sad as I was to have to return to work and leave Zoe in the care of my mom, dad, and stepmom.
3) Zoe has started daycare and after 3 weeks of "transition" has adjusted well. She does cry when she sees other babies getting bottles if she is not being fed at the same time, but otherwise she is doing very well.
4) Zoe has learned to turn over. This is big news for us. Last week Zoe flipped over from her back onto her tummy. Max had put her down in her crib with the mobile on in a last ditch effort to finish making dinner. I heard a higher pitched and more angry yowl than usual and saw the poor little imp wedged up against the wooden slats of her crib on her tummy! She has since become very adept at flipping from her back onto her tummy, but unfortunately no progress flipping back. And since Zoe hates being on her tummy this causes a fair amount of angry baby crying, followed by parental intervention (flipping her over onto her back), quickly followed by a Zoe flip onto her tummy, and more baby consternation. The cause and effect idea has not quite sunk in yet I guess (or maybe it has-flip over, cry, parent flips baby back, well she has us trained!).
5) Zoe eats "solids" aka cereals and mushed up bananas. Feeding a baby is a messy process involving both feeder and feedee becoming coated in sticky baby food and best done right before bathtime.
