After discussing cloth diapering with C. and doing lots of online research, here's what we've been considering (as of now, in order of approval).
We wouldn't use cloth exclusively -- think day trips, vacations, sitters, etc. -- but the thought of tossing even one disposable diaper into the trash makes me wince. One throwaway takes 500 years to decompose. Disposable diapers also are the third most frequent item in our landfills.
The pros I've learned of with cloth diapering? Fewer infections and quicker toilet training. Suddenly, this is something I'm very passionate about!
Also, here are a few things I have bought or received for the little guy.
- Earth Smart Diaper Service in Longmont. Weekly delivery included.
- The Changing Table diaper service in Boulder. Also weekly delivery.
- Bummis, wash-it-yourself cloth diapers you buy. Have to buy new sizes as baby grows.

Little pjs with Pooh and Piglet on them, and an outfit for next summer from Michelle.
"Perfect" onesie and some terry-like footed pjs, bought on clearance at Kohls.
Some bigger clothes I bought for next year. I love the whale onesie, and the raincoat makes me smile.
