I planted some papaya seeds and among the many little weeds that I'm familiar with are two that seem different.  Anyone know if these are my baby papayas?

Tough to tell -- just too small right now.  In another couple of weeks I'll be able to venture a guess.

I've read that for papaya to fruit, you need both male and female trees.  That hasn't been my experience, as both of the trees I planted appear to be self-fruitful, but bear that in mind as you transplant them: the male trees will look different than the female.  

Best of luck.

They look very like my papaya seedlings with those pointy true leaves. I think they probably are.

Yay!!!  Thanks Nathanael and Jan!  Now I hope the other ones come up too.  I planted 6 seeds in three spots.  So far only these two came up and unfortunately they're right next to one another.

I have found that sometimes papaya seeds germinate many days apart.
