| I saw somewhere through some Fairfax County statistics that this area has more boys than girls. My boy is also born 2005 and I definitely see more boys than girls everywhere. Possibly some environmental reason? Each jurisdiction keeps track of how many boys and girls are born. It would be interesting to see the trends. |

| I think area specific, there are more boys here though than other areas of the country. |
