Based on your comments and the lankiness of her build in those pictures I'm going to guess 5-6 months old.
Clean eyes and good dentition. Depends on the hair softness and meow, but my hot take is between 2 and 6.
Hard to tell without scale, but less than 2.
You're thinking she's less than a year - is she full size yet? If not measure and weigh her now. When she reaches her adult size/weight, work backwards from that.
It depends on the cat, but generally they grow quickly for six months, then slowly for six months, then they stay at that size, but bulk out a bit for 6 months.
I should’ve included her current size. Not sure how to add pics to the post. No idea how much she weighs in those first pics but currently she looks like this and weighs 11.3 pounds. 
The pics in the post are 3.5 years ago.
Ha, might be a bit harder to work out - but good to have a fully grown cat photo as comparison.
Looking at your "before and after" photos, and based on what my own cats looked like at 3, 4 ,5 ,6 months, I'd say your guess of 4 months isn't far off. 4 or 5 months?
Blue eyes could mean its still very young but in this case it seems she just has blue eyes.
This is what she looks like 3.5 years later
17 or 18
She does look elderly I suppose lol but she’s def under a year here. Was just trying to figure out her birth month
