I used leftover shelf liner / patterned contact paper on mine. Sticks just fine

How did you get the wordle at a high enough resolution? When I did it once for another book the only downloadable size was pixelly at 8x12. Did you use a special site or type it up yourself!

If you just want to throw together lots of photos you should give Pummelvision a try. It's free and comes out like this: http://vimeo.com/18075241

Awesome. I was googling last week for camping tubes and collapsible water jugs but this must be better if it is purpose made.

I have the nest and it's great, light but very stable. Really easy to put up and take down. You can gate check it because it's a baby bed, but the storage compartment can hold a lot of stuff so you can sneak on extra weight that's not in your suitcase (or you can just check the whole thing - it's sturdy enough). The handle straps snap onto the sides so it's easy to carry with the baby in it to. I like that I can slide it back and forth on the carpet to help the baby to sleep (instead of rocking her in her crib). I couldn't settle her in something that had tent poles, etc.

This is not what it seems. You can't idiot proof everything. It's like buying a baby gate and forgetting to close it. Check out this retailers explanation and video. http://mbeans.com/spillingthebeans/safety/whats-really-up-with-the-metoo-seat/

Has anyone just used a regular bucket in the bath like a Tubtrug? http://us.tubtrugs.com/ It seems like it would accomplish all the same things (use less water, be easier to keep the baby sitting up) and could be used for toy storage later. (baby due next week)

I'm glad they are uploading to a private Flickr stream. I can only imagine you'd end up with a a few unintentional up-the-skirt or scarcely clothed toothbrushing photos

I'm not there yet, but plan to let it hang around for a week in a special "display" location, then take a photo of it. At the end of the school term make a photo book out of the photos for them to keep. Their own art book. (Blurb books are awesome, but there are lots of other services that don't cost much and if you just do one pic per page it would be really quick)
