Finding the tipping point

Both boys hold their bottle very well now but haven’t yet grasped the concept of gravity. When sitting on the living room floor, they easily consume the bottle’s first half but struggle to finish the container because it requires tipping the back higher than the front. About half way through their dinner they usually become frustrated and cry for help. Sometimes, Trey Davey will lie back flat on his back which puts him in a good position to finish his milk, but makes him susceptible to earaches from fluid draining into his ears. For this meal in the car, the boys successfully completed their bottles by themselves aided not only by their reclined car seats, but also by the steep grade Daddy parked the minivan on.
