But the "Two months?" questions are still baffling -- she's tiny, but at going on 13 surely not as tiny as your average 2-monther?
You know, I think Lillian was about her age when someone asked me if she was that age. At the time, my petite daughter was totally average. 50% in everything but head size, where she was 70%.
Because all baby girls everywhere are born with long lustrous locks, and the ones who aren't have the good sense to go around with little frilly headbands on their bald little heads. Any unadorned bald head must belong to a boy (
Boo had a lot of hair. Boo, when wearing dresses, was still often mistaken for male.
My way figuring out if a baby is a boy or a girl is to look right at the baby and say, "You're so cute. What's your name?" and when the parents answer, I usually know if the baby is a boy or a girl.

When wearing dresses. See how stupid people are, JZ?
(I think Ben was 12 or something pounds at 2 mos., so I can't help you there.)

Ha!!!!!
JZ, I did not mean to imply that M is a freakazoid gargantuan baby. She IS very tiny and delicate, but still, BIG compared to the barely out of the birth canal pictures, which were the last I saw.
I have found that people often guess the wrong gender of boys as well as girls, and that it doesn't end once the kid is a toddler. I don't mind, and so far, neither do the kids.
That pic is the very definition of "sleeping like a baby."
Oh, and she is SO CLEARLY a girl in that pic. Even if she wasn't wearing pink, it would be obvious to anyone without seriously distorted facial recognition schemas.
