She looks so much like Adam. Except she has Jackie’s lips and hair, she really resembles him, especially in his photos when he was a kid. I think she’s going to grow up to look like Liv Tyler.

Love those curls, and they do have the same look on their faces too funny!!

–I know what you mean about comfortable clothing on kids, but there are soft little cotton outfits out there for little girls. An example of a little girl who always looks comfortable and free to “explore the world,” but still is dressed unmistakably like a girl is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.

LOL, thanks for replying to my post. What you said was true but Sadie’s shirt was a Miss Little Sunshine. May I ask, how girly is it in your book?

I just know when I was about 2 or 3 my mother cut my long hair into a short, boyish style. I have always, especially as a teenager, looked at those photos of myself and asked, Why? I remember my boyfriend in my early twenties wanting to see pictures of me as a kid and I would cringe at those photos of me with that boy hair. As an adult, I can be as tough or as feminine as I choose, but I can never go back to being a sweet, pretty little thing. That ship has sailed. I was an unpretty toddler, thanks to that hair!

In my opinion, there’s no good reason to overtly label babies or toddlers as one sex or the other. My daughter is obviously a girl now, just from appearance (no matter what she wears), but as a baby/early toddler it was difficult to tell and she frequently wore gender-neutral clothing, or gender-neutral colors. Or even blue or green clothes without sparkles, embroidery, frills, or lace (and hair clips? She would have eaten them, or at least pulled them out immediately and thrown them). If people thought she was a boy for a moment, I didn’t care, and neither did my husband. We dressed her in what was available and comfortable. At 2 1/2, we let her choose what she wants to wear when possible and we don’t buy exclusively “girl” items – I don’t like the frequent reinforcement of the “girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice” and “boys are made of snips and snails and puppy dogs’ tails” stereotypes. Why do boys get “Baby Pirate!” onesies and girls get “Sweet as Can Be” onesies? Why can’t my spunky daughter wear a “Baby Pirate” onesie? It’s my laid-back 4 month old son who’s the sweetie pie. That’s not to say that my daughter never wears “girl” clothes, as I have lots of photos of her in dresses and other girl-type outfits – just that I prefer things that fit her personality, rather than items that try to shape her personality around gender stereotypes.

I don’t like labeling my children or giving them those kinds of expectations. I want them to be who they are, and make their own determinations whenever possible.

I think it’s absolutely adorable how Adam and Sadie have the same expression in the photo. Love it.

As far as Shiloh’s clothes go… remember her first ever baby pictures? She was dressed in blue. Not so girly there.

Honestly, as long as she’s comfortable, what does it matter what she’s wearing? She looks just like her daddy, and that’s wonderful!

Oh yeah as far as Sadie “dressed” like a little boy all the time and that they should dress her more like a little girl, Maybe those are the clothes that she likes. My cousin has 2 girls and NEITHER will wear a dress or even a skirt for that matter. One is 6 years old and the other just turned 3 years old. They would much rather dress like Sadie. My little girl on the other hand absolutely loves dresses and skirts but not until she was about 4. So maybe it’s her preference and not so much her parents. And before anyone says it, maybe their the type of parents to let their child wear what she is comfortable in instead of what the “parents” want her to wear. IMO

Everyone thinks that Sadie looks like Adam but to me I think she looks more like her mom ….. or maybe a mixture of both. I love her hair tho …. and she is precious.

There is nothing wrong with piercing a baby’s ears. Like Janis said there are plenty of girl outfits that are comfy ‘ feminine looking w/o being to frilly or dresses.

Okay.. did anyone else notice that Adam and Sadie have the same exact expression on their faces. Too funny
