Baby Girl


People here in Malaysia are always so curious to look in our stroller and see what our baby looks like. I don't know if they do it with all babies or they are more curious to look at western babies. Where ever we are people walk out of their way to come up to us and look at her. More than once has a security guard left their post in front of a store to come over and take a look at her. I don't mind, they always say nice things about her. The only thing that annoys me is they ALWAYS ask if she is a boy or a girl. She is usually decked out in some sort of PINK ensemble with a PINK blanket but for some reason that does not tip them off. Someone said that here in Malaysia people don't dress children in gender specific clothing but I am not so sure. I have yet to see a boy walking around in pink. (but maybe what I thought was a girl was really a boy) I think it is because they think all of us westerners look alike. So I dressed Annabelle up for her 3 month visit to the doctor. She looked so cute in her outfit and I told MÃ¥rten I dared anyone to ask if she was a boy or a girl. If they did they were going to get a punch in the stomach. No one asked, they just smiled and said SHE was cute.

    What an adorable baby!!!! I can't wait to meet her in person! Thanks so much for the pictures. She is soooooooooo cute!
    By the way, I often can't tell whether a baby is a boy or a girl. Why do you care if some people can't tell about Annabelle? A gorgeous child can be either. We all know Annabelle's a girl. And as you say, pink isn't necessarily a girl thing in other cultures.

    As the mother of an equally gorgeous baby girl, I've decided that people are just stupid. I could dip Georgia in Pepto Bismol and I'd still have some idiot ask if she's a girl.

    This is my first visit to the Baby Annabelle blog. I'm so glad to finally see some photos of Hank's cousin!
