Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

[Colleens 40]

Alexis is a Month old all ready, I'm enjoying every minute.

Hows everyone doing babies, and mommies?

OMG that went by so fast!! Not that I need to be reminding you of that I am glad to hear that you guys are doing well!

Emma is getting so big, she is now able to sit on her own, and rarely falls over. She can look around and not tumble...once and awhile she will go over, but just rolls with it and plays on her tummy or back! She is getting up on her hands and knees as well. It had just been rocking back and forth, but she is starting to figure out how to move her hands and legs to get moving. I think another week or 2 and she will be mobile. We are also going to take her for her first haircut when she gets up from her nap! Her banges are getting so long and get in her eyes!

I have just started looking into child care for the end of the month/beginning of Aug when my mat benefits run out. I will need to go back to work, so hopefully I won't have as difficult of a time to find a job as some have had. It is difficult to arrange for child care when you are not sure exactly when you will need it, but it can be so difficult to find that we can't wait until I find a job either!! I hope that it all works out somehow!!

Wow sitting and about to start crawling that is so exiting. First hair cut should be fun, my oldest was a challenge getting his first one, make sure you save a lock of her hair lol. Alexis pretty much just sleeps, eats, and poops but she does it so well

Looking for child care when your not sure you will need it can't be easy. Hopefully you find something easily and don't go nuts trying to find work.

Emma did the exact same things when she was that age.....lol!!

The haircut went really well. She sat on daddy's lap and didn't fuss at all. Although she was none too impressed with the hair falling on her face! The place we took her actually does up a little card for the first haircut, so that was cool. Her lock of hair was about 2" long...so she really needed the cut! I miss the long hair in the back, but now it is all one length back there and it does look better. The top got layered a bit so it no longer looks like she has a donald trump comb over....lol!

Definitely sounds like she had a lot of hair. I think that is pretty cool that they had a card for her first haircut, I wonder if more places do that too. I'm glad she is more styling then donald trump now with her new haircut, even though she is better looking then him and probably made that style work.

Thanks Gals!

I hope That the next few months go quickly but not too fast. The weather has been good here so far but im at the point that getting comfortable can be a tad hard.

[Canadiandggal 49]

Ok gals Can you guys give me a little more detail on the citizenship certificate for the baby. I got the site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/proof.asp but it then goes on to tell me to contact my nearest canadian embassy. Did you guys contact your nearest embassy for the forms? Where did you send the application to? any details or stories on how you went about doing the application please share. I know I have a few months to go but I am trying my best to get everything ready for when he gets here

I can't help you cause I have been slacking and I haven't done it yet! I do know you require special citizenship photos, (which are different sized than canadian and american passport photos) and I meant to get E's done when we were in Canada last month, but ran out of time. And right now we don't have the extra cash

If you read through the guide when you get to "Step 4 Mail the Package" you will see that they denote that if you are outside Canada and the US you send the application got the Embassy. So within the US you still send it to the Sydney address.

This is what it says right near the end of guide

For applicants living outside Canada and the United States

Once you have completed all the sections of your application, submit your application to the Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate closest to your home.

If you are applying for a child who is residing outside Canada and the United States, the application and documents should be submitted to the Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate closest to where your child resides.

Note: Applicants from the United States may apply directly or through a Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate.

So to me what it is saying is that you can either send it in to the Sydney address or send it through a Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate.

This link takes you right to the page where it vaguely states you can send it directly to Sydney http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/CIT0001E7.asp
