I was wondering when Egyptian babies get their permanent skin color? It seems like every time I take my baby's picture, his skin is a slightly different shade. An Egyptian friend of mine said their son was about six months old when his coloring stabilized. I just wondered if anyone else had any idea?
His eye color is changing too, though not as fast. I just wish his sleeping habits would change!

The more melanin you have in your skin and the time of year can affect anyone's skin. A baby's skin is so soft and fragile, which is why it seems they change. You usually know about a year old what color the eyes will be FOR SURE...although some can take longer.

No, MK. I don't care anymore. I am just concentrating on my baby. I haven't made any threads regarding 'him.'
The reason I was asking here is because more people more likely have an answer here than my friends here in the US. I do photography, and his skin color always makes my metering different due to the different lightness/darkness depending on when I take the picture. I am always having to custom white balance with my gray card and adjust my exposure for him. It's just new territory for me, that's all.

OMG are you guys for real I have never read anything so racial in my life
I will let you into a big big secret, white kids vary their skin colour too according to time of year and how much exposure to sun they get

In my opinion (based on the experience I see) to people who has mixed marriage in my country, that Arab, Indian and Chinese (Mongolian) have strong gen, Indo blood/gen is 'weak'.
Arab+Indo = kids will have Arab figure. Indian+Indo = Indian figure. Chinese+Indo = Chinese figure. Western+Indo = Western figure.
And maybe m.e., your baby will have skin & hair of western but face of Egyptian.

my daughter was dark as night when she came out but had the bluest eyes. the baby photographer even asked if i wanted her to lighten up the pic, uh no! she had a head fukll of black hair too. she started getting lighter as she grew but it seems since she hit 4 or 5, she is darkening up again. she is now a spitting image of her dad. the only think she has of me is my eyecolor.

I'm Egyptian, and my skin colour actually changed many times while I was growing up. It kept going from light brown, to dark brown, back and forth, I think until I was 21 when it setttled. I noticed that most of my family had the same thing it's weird.
