Lori, its so interesting we've had the opposite experience with our LO's complexions...Marino has the exact same skin color as me (with blonder hair). Ever since he was born, DH's family swears he's going to get darker (at 20 months, I seriously doubt he's going to have some serious complexion change). In the summer, he got tan and they kept saying "see, I told you!" and then of course by October he was pale again!
I was surprised when I saw your recent pictures how much darker Libby has gotten since you had her (since your DH has a similar complexion to my DH). Libby is absolutely beautiful! She is going to be stunning!
Re: **Married2MrWright**
It is fascinating...I think her skin coloring, in addition to being J's daughter, is also picking up on the olive skin tone that my twin brother and father have...when I was younger I was darker too (I did worship the sun) and if I tan I can get pretty dark but I avoid it (don't want to do further damage) and so now I seem to favor the pale skin tone of my mother's side of the family. Libby's my little graham cracker! When I hold her I don't see that she's much darker than me, but then I see photos of her and I really notice it.
