hi there! just wanted to let you know that we use cloth wipes too (HATED cloth diapering though!) and we use kissaluvs diaper lotion potion — I love it! smells great, all natural and is particularly good at cleaning xtra messy hinies — we just put a few drops into a 4oz. spray bottle w/water. got it at http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/

Unfortunately you can’t use compact fluorescent bulbs with dimmers! (That was one reason we were a bit hesitant to buy a dimmer initially.) We had to purchase an incandescent light bulb specifically so we could use the dimmer adapter.

So far, so good with the stroller! (Thanks again for your help!) David and I especially like (love!) it. Miss Leyba is getting used to it. I need to take her out in it earlier in the day; we take her every day to the park when David gets home from work — definitely her fussy time of the day. And even given that she has been doing remarkably well in it. We’ve taken a number of 45 minute walks… and then she has simply had enough and must be picked up and rocked to sleep RIGHT NOW! :) Ah, newborns.

We had that same Baby Bjorn chair and used it for almost 3 years! Question about the dimmer — does it work with compact fluorescent bulbs? I know that dimmers aren’t usually recommended for them, but I’ve never tested it for fear of ruining my lamps!
It looks like she loves her stroller too. Way to go using cloth wipes — I wish we would have gone that direction.
