Grace and Greta are about as girly girl as it gets, but this post is about Marie. I'm sure most of you have had the experience of dressing your baby girl in pink with a big bow and still everyone assumes she is a boy or asks if your baby is a boy or girl. So, tonight I decided to take Marie to the store with me after I had already put her pajamas on and, as crazy as it is, I seriously thought of putting her in something more girly because I thought people would assume she was a boy. I don't have a picture but she had on a white footed sleeper with yellow, blue, and green little stars on it. There are no ruffles, frills, or anything to fancy it up. It is pretty much a "boy" outfit and not even a girly boy outfit but I like it so I've kept it.
I put Marie in my pouch, which is also a gender neutral brownish color. She was wide awake and happy and smiling the whole time in the store, and we got a slew of "she is so cute" comments. Excuse me, she?? I was amazed. Here I was feeling bad for taking her out looking like a boy! Every single person who said something to me right away assumed she was a girl, and there were at least a dozen because she was being especially cute and the pouch always gets comments. Nobody even asked or hesitated about if she was a boy or girl! I feel a little silly, but I'm so proud! My baby is a girly girl.

She just looks too petite and pretty to be a boy. Though..your brother had to endure the questions because he was a "pretty" baby at about this same age, too....not before, but starting about 4month through getting his first haircut...he was pretty and petite, too LOL He'd kill me for posting this! LOL
I don't mind being pretty...it has its advantages. As far as being petite - I'm unintentionally trying my hardest to be as un-petite as possible.
