Thread: Awww, your baby is so cute...

What's her name? How old is she?

Today he was wearing brown loafers and a navy dress shirt with a collar, and still he gets mistaken for a girl! Anyone else have this "problem"?

And...does this mean I'm getting closer to actually having a girl someday? LOL!

i don't. lucas' biggest comment is how big his eyes are. but as a baby i was always called a boy. my mom dressed me in pink and pierced my ears and it didn't change anything

I've had Ronin dressed all in blue with cars on it and been told he is such a pretty little girl. For him it's the eyelashes I think. Only the last couple of months have people been guessing right that he's a boy most of the time.

DS's big eyes and long eyelashes get him called a girl all the time. If we're out in town, he's usually on me in a carrier so it not like people can really see his clothes. If someone comments on how pretty/beautiful/cute SHE is, I just smile and say thank you and move on. I'm rarely asked what his name is. A lot of people ask how old he is because they always seem to think he's older. It doesn't really bother me when they think he's a girl. It's a guessing game with bald babies.

I was going to say that Odin gets his girl comments all the time based on lack of hair too. Even when in blazing blue boy gear!

I like your thinking Kaci, maybe it is one step closer!

This happens to Emma all the time! If she's in brown anything (it doesn't matter if there are flowers or butterflies on it) people will say "He is so cute! What's his name?"

If she's not in a dress, she's mistaken for a boy.

funniest thing hands down was when Trevor was a baby. We went to Mc donalds at the drive thru and the lady handing us our food said "She has such pretty eye lashes" LMAO! So funny, till this day I think back and laugh. He was dressed up and down in blue too.
Chloe was dressed in a blue onesie with pink writing on it with her hair up in a pony tail, she was called a boy. she had her pink ear rings in too.
I think people just feel like they need to tell you how cute your baby is, without really thinking about what they are saying. I always smile and say thank you. I could see how someone would get annoyed if it happened all the time though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I have to say, honestly, 100% I have NEVER had anyone once think Sophie is a boy... they always get it right. HOWEVER, w DD1, she was in a PINK carrier, completely wearing a PURPLE dress, w headband, the whole nine yards, and she was mistaken TWICE in the same day for a boy... LMFAO... I don't know what ppl are thinking these days...

I get, 'Cute baby. Is it a boy or girl?' Even when she is decked out in frilly pink.

I don't mind people mistaking Rowan for a boy. What I do mind is the following conversation that I've had with more than one person:

Person: Oh what an adorable girl. What's her name?
Me: Her name is Rowan.
Person: Sorry, I meant boy. You never can tell, can you? He's adorable.

Really? I know it isn't that common of a name, and I know it's slightly more common for boys, but if I say "her," please believe I'm talking about a girl.
