Notice the pink bow on the cradle, and the fact that baby is referred to as "him"? Even as late as the 1950s, pink was considered a very "Forward" colour and suited for boys. Light blue was considered more demure and more suitable for little girls.
Yes, I remember reading something in "Modern Priscilla" from the 20's that pink was considered the bolder color.
