We are finally getting the swing of things (after 8 weeks, thank goodness)! There is a semi-routine throughout the day and we're learning what works and what doesn't. Tonight we managed to cook and eat dinner in peace (well, it was just hot dogs and Coronas, but still...) using a combo of pacifier (or 'dummy' as they say in the UK), baby swing (best purchase ever for £30 on ebay!) and some nice Italian music in the background. Eating dinner is a major feat, because no matter what time it is, as soon as we sit down, Ruby typically starts crying... But not tonight! After dinner, since Ruby was still in a semi-good mood, we tested out our new baby carrier that just arrived yesterday. We walked to the neighborhood pub (the Earl Spencer) for a pint.
