Gorilla Baby

For the most part, I really enjoy feeding Violet bottles. I mean, yes, nursing was easier in the sense that there was no prep required, but there's something so sweet about being able to see both of Vi's big round eyes peering up at me while she slurps. And it can be so cozy. So peaceful. So calm. Except, of course, when she is being Gorilla Baby. During which time she'll pitch her head back and drink upside down so she can look at Laurel or Jon. Or bounce both of us around by pushing her feet hard against the couch. And she's recently become very interested in her feet -- specifically, playing with them and invariably ripping off her socks while enjoying her bottle.

A photo from the wild. Is (or was) feeding baby like this in your house too?
