My Aunt Sandi just sent me the most wonderful gift: cloth diapers for Colt. He's wearing them in the pictures above. I have actualy been using cloth diapers since Colten was about two weeks old, and I really, really love them. I honestly believe that EVERYONE should be cloth diapering their babies. Disposables do come in handy sometimes, but man, what a diaster they are! Do you know that something like 10,000 TONS of disposable diapers are tossed into landfills each day, and that each one can take up to 500 years to decompose? Gross.
The thing with cloth diapers is that it's nice to have a lot of them. But you have to buy them. So if anyone was ever like, "hey, I need to buy Jessica (or Colten) a gift, but I don't know what to get her (or him)," well here you go.
Sandi gave me these wonderfully soft diapers made from bamboo (the fastest growing plant in the world, by the way!) from this woman's website:

I have mainly purchased used (cheaper, you see) diaper covers from here:

Colten is quickly growing out of his Thirsties XS diaper covers. Time for size small.
Anyways, the point is this: cloth diapers = good
