Google "FDR dress" and this pic comes up many, many times - so I figure it's as real as anything can be on the internet.

Yup.  That's FDR.
Clothes for children were non gender specific in the 1800s.  Boys had first haircut around age 6 iirc.

I am not sure, but back in the 1800 pink was considered a masculine color and baby boys were dressed in pink.
