DS is AA/CC biracial and is only 6 months old, but his color has changed quite a bit already. Sometimes it seems he changes on a day-to-day basis!

One of my (AA) friends said to look at his nail beds and that would be what his skin color would end up being. Not sure that's any more than an old wives' tale but....

A funny story - I have a friend who is biracial, he looks AA now but when he was born he was so light the hospital thought they had mixed up babies in the nursery because his mom is very dark AA - they didn't think her son could be so light! Apparently there was a big hubbub and they didn't want to give him to his mom! (That was 25 years ago, BTW)

Anyhow, the point is - it's hard to tell how skin color is going to change for anyone but I think especially for biracial kiddos.
