My, What a Cute...Boy You Have?!?!

So, one of my worst pregnancy nightmares is starting to happen! When I was pregnant with Baylee I was so worried that people would think she was a boy. This is one of the main reasons why I have tried to always have a headband or hairclip in her hair since she was born. She's been very cooperative so far, but recently she's started pulling out her hairbows. I try to keep them in as much as I can though. Well, it seems like lately, almost everytime she hasn't had a hairclip in her hair, which isn't often, people have been calling her a boy! I happen to think that even without a hairclip, she still looks pretty girly! Or am I just thinking this because I don't want her to look at all like a boy?
So, for Halloween I didn't let it bother me too much. I understand she was in a costume that some people could consider boyish, and she had a hood on and it was harder to see her because it was dark, etc. So, I can kinda understand with those comments. However, there have been other times when people have called her a boy. A couple nights ago, we went out to eat and there was a table with three people and a girl a little younger than Baylee (who, may I add, Ben and I at first did actually think was a boy until I got a closer look at her clothes and socks). The girl kept turning and watching us and giggling and trying to get out of her highchair. I think she was trying to play with Baylee. The guy with them made a comment about the little girl trying to come play with her boyfriend (referring to Baylee) or making Baylee the girls boyfriend or something like that! Ahhh, she's not a boy! Ben had dressed her, and she even had on jeans with a little pink dress that is too short, so sometimes she wears it as a shirt, and brown maryjane shoes. She did have on a little gray jacket, but you could still see her pink dress. Here is her and Ben after we got home from dinner. If you saw her like this would you call her a boy?:
I try to dress her pretty girly and keep her hair done like a girls, and she certainly acts girly to me! I guess there is one thing that everyone agrees on, whether they think she's a boy or can tell she's a girl, they all think she's so cute!
Maybe there are just a lot of senile people out there.

Silly people. Baylee sure makes a pretty beautiful boy?! Love the curls. Some people are just oblivious to the obvious gender signs.
