Amusingly, she neither understands nor speaks French. "French people are all around me," she shared in one email. "Every time they speak, all I hear are ducks quacking and birds chirping (a lot of quack-quack-quack and la-er-la-la-er)." Yes, that's my good friend who has now managed to butcher one of Canada's holy grails.<br /><br />Contrary to Marie, French was my favorite subject in high school. Oui, oui, I confess that I am a Francophile, and my French addiction is not contained to language. I am equally keen on their buttery soft cheeses--camemberts and bries--as well as their sinfully decadent cream sauces. Consider, too, that I almost named my business "Patachou," a salute to my love for French pastries. The sound of the French words "pâte à choux" are lyrical and cheerful, evoking much more than its simple English equivalent. Sadly enough, my French comprehension has dimmed to the point that now only allows me to order, albeit with some degree of confidence, french wines and dinners. C'est dommage, as they say. Too bad.<br /><br />In any case, I consider myself fortunate to have a French name: Angelique. In spite of my Asian heritage, I had great hopes of having a distant relation to a great-aunt in Provence from the 17th century. Even an au pair in the barnyard would have sufficed. But when prodding my parents for my name's inspiration, I was truly disappointed. The best answer my Dad could summon was, "Ask your mother," to which she replied, "I don't remember. I must have heard the name on television."<br /><br />My parents come from a family whose naming traditions are amusingly generous. Consequently, they never lost sleep over the naming of their children since each was blessed with many. It is fortunate, then, that the names they gave my siblings do not bother them in the least. I especially fancy my younger sister's name, Salome, for its legendary courage. Put it beside the devout "Angelique" and my name now seems boring and timid by comparison. Regardless, it's French, and I'm not complaining.<br /><br />I prefer French names because they're sophisticated and lyrical, and they seem to exude finesse. If you are planning to bestow your child with a French name, here are some of my recommendations:<br /><br />French Baby Names for Boys<br /><br />Cyrano, Gascon, Antoine, Chance, Émile, Fernand, Adrien, Felix, Julien, Rémy, Benoit, Fabrice<br /><br />French Baby Names for Girls<br /><br />Blanche, Alisanne, Cerise, Simone, Adèle, Clarisse, Brettany, Charline, Adele<br /><br />The majority of masculine French baby names can be transformed into feminine ones by adding the suffixes -e, -ette, or -ine. For example, Paul becomes Paulette, Jean to Jeanne, and Jacques to Jacqueline. Many French names are hyphenated as in the case of Marie-Elise, Marie-Hélene, and Paul-Henri.<br /><br />Admit it, when you say those names out loud, don't they seem as if they came from a movie screen? Additionally, the accents will make you purr as you savor their uniqueness. If you feel uncomfortable about this because you have no French heritage, well, just look at my parents! Why not give your baby a little something something to write about? Believe me, your little wee one will thank you for it later.<br /><br />By Gabriela GernerSyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-64604569719836428342009-10-21T15:19:00.000-07:002009-10-21T15:23:02.556-07:00Top List of Baby Girls Names - Choosing Perfect Baby Names for Girls<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/St-JuowzK_I/AAAAAAAAAd4/3ErN_P1oLTM/s1600-h/little-baby-art-02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 258px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/St-JuowzK_I/AAAAAAAAAd4/3ErN_P1oLTM/s320/little-baby-art-02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395182312922229746" border="0" /></a>The list of <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/08/history-of-irish-baby-names.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby girls names</span></a> that are the most popular can help you when considering which names are the best baby names for girls.

You might be tempted to buy <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/essential-shopping-guide-for-baby-girl.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby’s clothes</span></a>, although you know most of the time baby will always sleeping and crying during their first months, which obviously don’t need fancy clothes to wear.

Dresses, jumpers, pajamas, and swimsuits are popular baby clothes most parents would like to have. Colors choices can be anything, but mostly baby girl wear pink color and baby boy wear blue color. But do not think, however, that this is the only color in which you can find for baby clothes. You can find baby outfits in almost all other colors.<br /><br />The designs are also awesome for baby. You can find several designs, featuring flowers animals, toys, etc. You can also find many several pieces from brand name designers. Basically, baby clothes are not really expensive. But when it comes to branded baby clothes, you may find that they are rather expensive in comparison to lesser-known manufacturers of clothing. Though they may last a little bit longer, you will have to decide if the name on the label really justifies the price difference.<br /><br />People spend a large portion of income on clothes, include for their baby.

Clothing with snap crotches is great for diaper changes.<br /><br />• In addition to ease of changing, it is also important to consider the location of decorative items like snaps, buttons etc. verses baby’s comfort.<br /><br />• You should give a thought to how the baby will be laying on these decorative items of clothing and how these accessories may be annoying.<br /><br />• Prepare for a set of long johns for winter so that you can keep your baby warm.<br /><br />If you want to save money, and also knowing that your baby will grow rapidly, it’s okay if you consider to buy used baby clothes as long as it still good and clean.

The most sensible baby clothes for summer wear are lightweight, light-colored cotton onesies. They are an excellent substitute to baby pants and shirts and will rarely cause irritation, rashes, or itching.<br /><br />Parents should opt for baby clothes that are easy to change and simple to wear and remove in hot, sticky weather conditions. Babies should be dressed in the most comfortable materials that will maintain appropriate temperature. Avoid dressing babies in heavy summer clothes or wrapping them in warm blankets. Tightly woven fabrics are more protective than loose weaves.<br /><br /><a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/unique-baby-clothing-helps-your-baby-to.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Choose baby clothes</span></a> made from natural fibers, rather than manmade materials. This is because manmade fibers don't breathe as well as natural fibers and can be uncomfortably warm, especially in summer. Keep the baby's skin covered as much as possible because the skin's sun protection system isn't entirely developed yet; this can cause the skin to burn more easily in babies. Long pants, long-sleeved shirts, socks, and brimmed hats to avoid sunburn and sun glare are the best outfits for hot conditions. Chemical-free sunscreen ointments or lotions can be applied to the baby's body, particularly on the arms and legs, where the sun's rays will probably directly hit.<br /><br />For those hot summer months, parents will certainly need to stock the child's wardrobe with plenty of baby summer apparel. These summer baby clothes are available in individual pieces or matching outfits, and the price range varies greatly. Baby stores feature the cutest styles and the most appropriate baby summer apparel to combat outside heat. Parents can also shop for their favorite designer's summer baby clothes, by brand, size, or gender over the Internet.<br /><br />By Kristy AnnelySyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-50555601233385467032009-08-24T06:10:00.000-07:002009-08-24T06:11:57.829-07:00The History of Irish Baby Names<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/SpKRk13tNjI/AAAAAAAAAZA/H13Qm152sMk/s1600-h/baby-clothes-101.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/SpKRk13tNjI/AAAAAAAAAZA/H13Qm152sMk/s320/baby-clothes-101.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373517367528470066" border="0" /></a><a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/naming-your-baby.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Irish baby names</span></a> have close links to other categories of <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-right-baby-name.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby names</span></a>. They are strongly linked with Celtic baby names and also Gaelic baby names (Gaelic is the Irish for Irish). Irish baby names is often an umbrella term to include all the names under Celtic, Gaelic and Irish origin.<br /><br />Like a lot of old names, Irish names tend to describe something or mean something. For example the Irish boys name Donnacha means "dark haired warrior" from the Gaelic "donn" meaning "brown" and "cath" meaning "battle". This is what it originally meant. The name became popular but the meaning wasnt really known that well.<br /><br />Over time, pure Irish names became Anglicized. The popular Irish name Kevin comes from the Gaelic Caoimhin, and there is also a feminine version of the name Caoimhe.<br /><br />One of the reasons Irish names are popular is that they do have a rich history and background. It is almost as if you are to continue the work performed by your historic namesake, or will inherit their help and approval just by taking their name.<br /><br />Traditional Gaelic names such as Niamh (Beautiful, bright) and Cian (Ancient) are also becoming very popular again, not just in Ireland but also among the vast ex-pat Irish-American population and also in other areas of the world. But these names were not always so popular. At one time they were outlawed. The violent struggle between the English Protestant and the Catholic churches resulted in the disappearance of Gaelic names. This history seems to make those names even more popular now.<br /><br />By Kevin BoylanSyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-74924669083021481682009-08-23T09:42:00.000-07:002009-08-23T09:44:53.383-07:00Using And Creating Fill-In Baby Shower Invitations<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/SpFx9kmBpiI/AAAAAAAAAY4/bAJHy05rSjY/s1600-h/baby-gift-03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 231px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/SpFx9kmBpiI/AAAAAAAAAY4/bAJHy05rSjY/s320/baby-gift-03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373201133038839330" border="0" /></a>Fill-in <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/ideas-on-how-to-host-baby-shower-shower.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby shower invitations</span></a> are useful and serve a purpose when it comes to baby showers.

For one, baby girl clothes are more varied; <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/unique-baby-clothing-helps-your-baby-to.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">boy clothes</span></a>, on the other hand, tend to be limited in terms of style and design. Yet, because of the variety, many tend to overdo the shopping and their shopping gravitates towards the impractical and the gratuitous. On the other hand, there are also those who choose baby girl clothes using very limited standards-such as buying pink clothes for girls, clothes with ribbons and laces among others. Obviously, parents should find the right balance between these two factors to be able to buy their baby girls the perfect clothes.<br /><br />First, do not restrict the <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/naming-your-baby.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby girl clothes</span></a> to certain colors. Many believe clothes for baby girls should only be in pink. This is, of course, not true. Buy clothes in various colors to create character. However, it is not advisable to buy baby girl clothes with too many laces or ribbons or any other materials that may be removed and may cause injuries such as suffocation.<br /><br />Parents may have to consider stocking up on particular baby girl clothes such as such dresses, t-shirts, onesies, and infant gowns. Dresses, in particular, are of special interest, since they are obvious made for baby girls. Dresses are often for outdoor use, so parents can choose those with extravagant designs. However, the dresses should still remain light despite the design. Buying baby girl clothes made from cotton is the best choice, since cotton is soft and safe on a baby's skin. However, when buying sleepwear, parents have to make sure the material is flame-resistant and snug-fitting, since loose clothes can also cause suffocation. Fabrics such as cashmere and wool are also often used for baby clothes. The key is to make sure the fabric is soft and light-anything heavier than these materials may prove to be an inconvenience for the babies.<br /><br />It may be wise to but baby girl clothes in sets, especially when the baby is only a few months old. However, baby girls aged one to three have different needs, so buying clothes sets are no longer advisable. Babies aged one and up are already classified as toddlers. Toddlers, depending on their age and growth development, may be already aware of clothing choices so they might have clothing preferences already. In this case, it is better to ask the toddler what she wants. However, it is better to observe which types of baby girl clothes for more suitable for baby girls. As she grows older, she may prefer dresses and shirts over onesies and stretch suits. Parents should gauge the child's ability when it comes to wearing these items since they pose as a trouble during diaper change or when parents are teaching baby girls to use the potty.<br /><br />By Clif JohnsonSyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-55736882020289598262009-07-25T09:39:00.001-07:002009-07-25T09:40:40.431-07:00Natural Baby Gift Baskets<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Sms1WDTnnfI/AAAAAAAAAWg/WBUV-ld6-MA/s1600-h/baby+gift+05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Sms1WDTnnfI/AAAAAAAAAWg/WBUV-ld6-MA/s320/baby+gift+05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362438434275696114" border="0" /></a><a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/unique-baby-clothing-helps-your-baby-to.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Baby gift baskets</span></a>, with a fabulous assortment of natural baby products, are excellent gifts to welcome a new baby. <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/naming-your-baby.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Natural baby gift baskets</span></a> include all-natural ingredients such as soft organic baby shampoo, organic lotion, organic soap, organic diaper powder, organic baby balm, fragrance-free moisturizer, organic teething chews, and pure essential oils for massaging. Try to avoid the use of artificial fragrances or dyes.<br /><br />The basket can also include soft baby clothes, baby bibs, and booties made from 100 % clean cotton, natural fiber sponges, and terry cloth bath pillows. Further, natural baby gift baskets can feature a no-expiration gift certificate to any store that solely specializes in natural products.<br /><br />Toys and teddies made with soft natural fiber and recycled materials are good items to include in natural <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-right-baby-name.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby gift baskets</span></a>. Some natural baby gift baskets even contain wooden toys, a wooden baby brush, and a wooden comb. Organic baby foods, personal memory gift items, non-toxic baby games, and CDs of nature sounds and lullaby songs are other options.<br /><br />One can buy fabulous natural baby gift baskets from a gift basket business. However, making a personalized gift basket at home is a better idea. For this, one can use fair-trade, wooden or straw baskets. Colored recyclable napkins and organic cotton towels as well as recycled paper can be used to line the natural baby gift baskets. The products for filling should be non-toxic and non-plastic.<br /><br />Natural baby gift baskets are wonderful and unique gifts on special baby occasions such as baby showers, baptism ceremonies, birthdays, and christenings. One can also stick to a particular theme while choosing natural baby gift baskets like safety kits, bath items, or bedtime items.<br /><br />By Ken MarlboroughSyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-35441716136628353242009-07-24T11:23:00.001-07:002009-07-24T11:25:30.897-07:00Unique Baby Clothing Helps Your Baby to Stand Out<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Smn8UyfYSkI/AAAAAAAAAWY/8mHmLDfH_bM/s1600-h/Baby+Clothes+02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 272px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Smn8UyfYSkI/AAAAAAAAAWY/8mHmLDfH_bM/s320/Baby+Clothes+02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362094265442257474" border="0" /></a>The truth of the matter is that your <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/07/naming-your-baby.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby</span></a> is quite simply the most beautiful baby in the whole world and there is just no denying that fact. This means that dressing your baby in standard, run of the mill baby clothing is just out of the question.<br /><br />Besides, according to recent clinical research into early childhood development, evidence suggests that babies develop a sense of self and being at a much earlier age then was previously suspected.<br /><br />Also, very young <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/06/just-right-baby-name.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">babies</span></a> were found to have preferences for colors and designs. What this all adds up to is that babies as young as six months know who they are and know what they like in terms of colors, shapes and designs that are around and on them.<br /><br />This means that your little princess or young Turk want to look good but they just can't communicate to you what they actually prefer when it comes to their wardrobes and the duds that wear due to a language barrier.<br /><br />Dressing your child in unique fashion designs can only help in their early childhood development and the reverse of that concept is that dressing them in plain threads may actually do them harm that can manifest itself later on in their life.<br /><br />Fortunately for you and your baby there are now baby clothes designers that recognize these facts and have come up with creations that will have any newborn baby strutting around their crib in the style that they would prefer.<br /><br />The good news for mom is that they don't cost any more than standard <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/06/gourmet-baby-gift-baskets.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby clothes</span></a> and they are easy to find online as well.

You have so many options and so many sources available to you. This article is meant to give you a few ideas on where to look and how to decide.<br /><br />Method one: Your family history.<br /><br />You have plenty of names available to you in your family tree. Some couples name their children after their own parents or grandparents. What a great way to honour your roots and where you came from. This is a great way to name your baby, so long as you like the names of your parents and grandparents. So what if you don't like your choices?<br /><br />Method two: Buy a book.<br /><br />There are hundreds of books available with lists of <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/06/gourmet-baby-gift-baskets.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby names</span></a> sorted into various categories. The benefit of these books, is that you literally have tens of thousands of names at your fingertips. These books can be found in most libraries, bookstores and even online. If you like the idea of having a large selection of baby names to browse though, but don't want to buy a book, you're in luck. There's a third option.<br /><br />Method three: Visit a baby names web site.<br /><br />There are several web sites on the Internet that are dedicated solely to <a href="http://101babysolution.blogspot.com/2009/06/buy-baby-clothes-carefully.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">baby names</span></a>. The benefit of these sites is that, unlike a book, you can search for baby names and select options to list more specific types of names. The most common choices are to search alphabetically, by nationality and by gender.<br /><br />Either method you choose, naming your baby can be a wonderful experience. Your child deserves the best you can give. Following one of these three methods will enable you to select a name for your baby that you will be proud of.<br /><br />By Rob RossSyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-73298299285935136802009-06-10T04:18:00.000-07:002009-06-10T04:20:41.797-07:00Just the Right Baby Name!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Si-W9dS4EqI/AAAAAAAAAVI/ky8_pnTArpE/s1600-h/Baby+Names+03.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 310px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Si-W9dS4EqI/AAAAAAAAAVI/ky8_pnTArpE/s320/Baby+Names+03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345657265292055202" border="0" /></a>How can you choose the perfect baby name? With so much information out there, it can seem like an impossible task. But with a little research and a good dose of inspiration, choosing the right baby name can be one of the fun parts of pregnancy!<br /><br />Baby name books<br /><br />Baby name books are a great read: you can curl up for a rest and mull over a thousand different possibilities. They're excellent for short bursts of baby name investigation. Keep one in the kitchen, another by your chair and one by your bed. Enter a world where syllables, initials, rhymes, trends, meanings and warnings blend together in a wave of advice about the best kind of baby name to choose.<br /><br />Baby names online<br /><br />On the Web, baby name sites offer tens of thousands of names. Some enable you to search for names with certain letters or a set number of syllables; there are surveys, lists, opinions, and forums. Exotic international baby names mingle with popular favorites, while high ranking kings and queens topping the baby name rankings look down on names that have suddenly become less cool. In the baby names arena, the Internet has come into its own: we can browse a huge collection of names, select a certain type of baby name to investigate or search for one particular name that interests us - it's so flexible!<br /><br />Friends and family<br /><br />Asking relatives and friends for ideas can be fruitful - but be careful not to take all their advice to heart! Don't forget that it's your decision - be open to ideas and suggestions, then go away and think about it all again. Taking a look at your family history can be useful, too; do you have an ancestor with an interesting name?<br /><br />Finding just the right name for your baby is a huge task, but your baby will have a name. It's just a matter... of finding it!<br /><br />By Claire KolarovaSyarifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01934449601416359726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315240709400837097.post-3617371772353498602009-06-09T03:29:00.000-07:002009-06-09T03:31:01.114-07:00Gourmet Baby Gift Baskets<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Si452z7bNeI/AAAAAAAAAT4/7_Mf_gGUUl0/s1600-h/baby-clothes-101.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lLKo7D5D1B4/Si452z7bNeI/AAAAAAAAAT4/7_Mf_gGUUl0/s320/baby-clothes-101.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345273421550532066" border="0" /></a>Gourmet baby gift baskets are perfect gifts at the birth of a baby or for a baby shower.
