Let me save you months of being clueless about how to keep your baby happy at a restaurant. (So you can enjoy your I'll-just-pretend-my-life-is-the-same evening out.) Once your baby wakes up from that whole business of learning how to breathe like a human coma, he'll perk right up when you go out to eat and say: I am infant! Hear me squwak!
There are only two things you need once your baby is six months old. And here is an example of where "thing" is a very accurate description. (Otherwise what word could you possibly use to categorize these bizarre inventions?)
Thing number one: Sassy Teething Feeder. This contraption is like a pacifier on steroids. Pop something in that sucker (bread, fruit, any food that is age-appropriate) and your kid will be enjoying a happy hour of their own. Doesn't your drink taste a little better when your baby is not choking?
Thing number two: Baby Buddy Secure-a-Toy. (I know, the names of these things...) Use this non-strangling-device to attach the crack pacifier to the high chair and now you don't even have to pick it up!
Note: Don't make the same mistake I did and be afraid to give your baby real, non-pureed food until they are practically talking. I once asked my sister-in-law if it was OK to give bread to my eight month old. A PIECE OF BREAD! (She gave me her best it's-ok-you-are-allowed-to-be-certifiable-until-your-kid-turns-one look and said: Um, yeah.)
