catou_98 replied:
6 pounds 10 ounces at birth-18 inches
at 10 months she weighed 16 pounds, 3 ounces-26 1/2 inches

it was a total surprise, I had a planned c-section for sept 9 but my water broke sept 5 so they had to deliver her right then and there, she was a breech baby!

catou_98 replied:
yes, we found out the sex at my 19 week ultrasound, at first we were not sure if we wanted to find out but when I got on the table we asked the tech to tell us only if she was 100 percent sure, she didn't even have to tell us because me and s/o both "screamed" it's a girl, we were right!

camille has been a very good sleeper from the start, the first night she was born she sleep a 5 hour stretch, the next morning the nurse yelled at me for not waking her up to nurse! , once we were at home it slowly got better and better, by the time she was 2 months old she was sleeping 8 hours, and now she's sleeping 12 to 13 hours at night!

she mostly wears 9 months, however(depend on the clothing brand) she still fit in 6 months clothing and she can even wear some 18 months, they're a bit big on her but oh well!

catou_98 replied:
at birth everyone said she looked like daddy the most but now that she's older people say she looks more and more like me!


the only thing she had on her head at birth was fuzz, tiny, tine fuzz of blond hair!

catou_98 replied:
She loves pretty much all fruits, but espesially kiwi and mango

she has 2 teeth, both bottom middle ones

Thanks, I love it too! , when I was younger I used to watch a show called "watatatow" it's a french serie, one of the girls in that show was camille and I just loved it and since then I always said that if I was having a girl that's what her named would be, s/o didn't have any say in that matter! but lucky me he liked that name too!

She does have a nursery, it is painted in a very soft baby yellow (it's called playful) and it's decorated with winnie the poohs stick on border in the middle with stickers of winnie and friends here and there, it looks very pretty, whenever i get a scanner(hopefully next month, I will post a picture!)

If yes, how many?

Any preference as to sex of future siblings?

Do you use diaper rash cream?

Schnoogly replied: When did she get her first tooth?

When did she start crawling? Sitting? Cruising?

Is her first language going to be French? Or will she be bilingual?

Has she tried that wacky french fries & gravy & cheese mess that Zach's mom eats? (can't remember what it is called?? pou..something)

Will she go to preschool when she is old enough?

How many siblings do you want her to have?

MommyToAshley replied: What does she do to make you laugh?

catou_98 replied:
yes

I want at least one more, maybe 2 more!

I would like a boy for sure, but either sex is fine with me as long as he/she is healthy!

catou_98 replied:
her favorite toy beside the remote control would have to be her winnie the pooh ball!

She absolutely LOVES her bath, she's most definitely a water baby!

She gets a bath everynight as part of her bedtime routine, exept on the weekends sometimes when we're out and about!

It really depends on what it is, but usually she likes to try whatever we're having!

She does not like yellow beans, that's pretty much it! she not very difficult when it comes to food!

She is bottle fed!

Mommieto2Girls replied: Has she ever woke up with night terrors?

Does she like to watch tv?

Does she have a favorite cartoon or character yet ?

catou_98 replied:
We use pampers baby-dry #3

either huggies or the wallmart brand- "equate" here in canada, they're so similar to huggies, well i think so anyway!

yes, usualy just before bedtime, but sometimes during the day too if I see she's a little red, we use the wallmart brand-equate

catou_98 replied:
she got her first tooth at 8 months, 2 weeks and 3 days, the middle left bottom one!

she started sitting unnasisted for about 5 minutes at exactly 5 months old, by 5 1/2 month old she could sit very well and play with her toys for a good 30 minutes! at around 6 1/2 months she stared army crawl, she's not crawling on all 4's yet! but she's trying too! she started cruising at around 8 1/2 months, now at 10 1/2 she just mastered walking 4/5 steps alone before falling over!

We intend to use french at home, but we do want to send her to a bilingual scool so she can learn english early!

POUTINE, no she haven't tried that yet, i find it's way to greasy for her to handle! she gets an upset stomack pretty easily so we have to watch what we give her!

I'm not sure what preschool is, but I sure don't want her to go if she's only 3 years old!

I want her to have 1 sibling for sure, possibly too, we'll see!

catou_98 replied:
she does this weird thing, it's hard to describe but I'll give it a shot, it cracks me up everytime she does it!

Picture her sitting in her high chair eating cheerios, she looks up at me with this grin on her face then she clenches both fist by the side of her head and bring her lower jaw forward stiking those little teeth out and she kindda acts like she's trying to have a poopoo, with the noise and everything, but she just does that for fun! to make me laugh I guess! it's hilarious!

catou_98 replied:
I'm not sure if it was a night terror or not, but sometimes she just "screams" the loudest WHAAAAAAAA just once, but when I go in her room to see if she's ok she is fast asleep! weird! she does this about once a week!

yes does like to watch TV, we have the "big screen" kind so it's pretty hard for her to miss it!

So far I find that she gets the most exited when she sees the "teletubbies"

Kirstenmumof3 replied: What do you miss about being pregnant? What don't you miss about being pregnant?

Mommieto2Girls replied: Do you have a favorite outfit that you like her to wear?

Does she look great in a particular color?

How many and how muck bottles does she get in a day?

catou_98 replied:
I miss everything about being pregnant, seriously! but the one thing I miss the most is feeling her move, it's just the best...EVER!

there is nothing I don't miss about being pregnant......ok maybe the morning sicknees but it was worth it!

catou_98 replied:
yes, it's a little summer outfit for the days it's really hot, it's like a little tank top but its loose(like a mini-short dress) it's white with marine blue/white stripes ruffled(large) spagetti straps and it goes over a fluffy diaper cover, that's also marine blue/white stripes, oh and on the shirt it has a little fish with bubbles over it's head!.....it's too cute!

She looks the best when she's dressed in light pink!

she gets 4 bottles a day of 7.5 ounces each!

Mommieto2Girls replied: Do you use a particular brand of baby wash or shampoo?

What kind of bath toys does Camille get to play with?

catou_98 replied:
Johnson's baby shampoo, Johnson's baby wash, I guess I likethis brand, most of my things are form that brand!

mostly her washcloth and her tooth brush!
