    My son had very blonde white hair too and is now a shade of brown. Disappointing for me but he much prefers it for some teenage reason..:-)

    Wow! What a stunner. My OH was white as a child too and is now dark brown! Still got blue eyes to dive into though!

    Awwww, he is soooo cute! Great take on the theme. My oldest was born with hair so blonde it was white, but it was very fine adn you could hardly see it.
