Sara had very little hair until about eight months, and even though we always dressed her as the girliest girl in Girldonia, people were always mistaking her for a boy. I don't get it. I don't know anyone who would dress their little guy in a *dress* with daisies on it.

What is even happening?
Boo had a lot of hair. Boo, when wearing dresses, was still often mistaken for male.
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.)

Unless, of course, they reply "Pat."
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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

Heh, CV, I thought Matilda looked like my son in that picture!
I find it funny when people think the baby in a pink dress is a boy, but really, the vast majority of babies could be either boys or girls if you were looking at them clothed in just a diaper. I mean, secondary sex characteristics are not exactly pronounced in the under-two set.
(Both my kids were about 12 pounds at 2 months, but they do tend to skew big.)

Eh, flea, what do I know.
I'm abandoning the computer for awhile. Goodnight all!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was sort of confused the first time someone thought my kids were the other gender but it doesn't bother me. They're both of middling sized, too.
O's also getting to a stage where he likes pink. A lot. I'm waiting for him to ask me to paint his fingernails. I've already got the polish picked out.
ita, I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass the test.
Kat, you sound very ambitious for a woman with staples!
