That his legs and feet seem to be a lot darker than the rest of him lol. It kinda looks like he's been in the sun wearing swimmers! He wears a lot of onesies with no legs, so I was thinking maybe his skin being able to breathe and not being fully covered all the time might bring the colour out more (I don't know, grabbing at straws here lol) ... His arms are close to his leg shade but just a tad lighter and his belly and face are even lighter.

He is 3 months old ... I was wondering if anyone else's kids colour came out like this ... I'm not worried or anything, just curious that's all ... as even though it's warm in Australia still, I haven't had him out in the sun much.

Oh and he's half black (african american) and half white.

yup, my daughter is the same legs r darker. I wonder the same cause her face is a lot lighter so i dont think its the sun and her face gets more sun than her legs who r usually covered. Oh and she's half black (african american) and mexican.

yeah its sorta the same as light skin certain parts that have more sun will definately get darker as parts like belly bum chest usally stay lighter somtimes it could just be pigmentation because my husband has really dark thighs which are darker than the rest of him lol and its not because of sun because he dosent get sun there lol so its just darker pigment which is normal
