I was scared to death I'd get a girly girl....and I got a girly girl!
All things ribbon and bows and sparkles. But at 9 she's all over doing things her way and being comfortable. If that sparkly shirt makes it too hard to do the monkey bars - out it goes! If that dress doesn't work with bike shorts underneath - nope, no way (unless it's for church) because she can't climb a tree.
so, embrace them, love them and let them lead the way.
I do try very hard to avoid stereotypes (I do this with my son also). she fishes, hikes, skis. she's better at climbing trees than her older brother. unlike 35-40 years ago, you can be a girly girl and a tomboy at the same time now.
when we get older and get towards make-up, I've told her we'll go in to Macy's and ask for help - no way can I teach her this stuff!
we have fun playing with hair (braids - 5 in one day once) and toe nail polish and then we go out for a run.
my worry is that I'm not teaching her to be strong enough to fight the cultural biases and messages that seep through no matter what you try to do. we still love princess (but not at school because the cool girls have decided that's babyish) but I always try to make the princess super strong without also ignoring the prince (hey, men are important too!)
so, enjoy them, enjoy the ride and try your best to teach them your values regarding women being strong, men and women being friends and being equal, and that they can do anything. except maybe play professional baseball - that was a tough one for her to swallow.
good luck.
