[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 620395, member: 3493"] Oldest boy was a few weeks early and looked like a Sharpei puppy - he was scrawny and the skin hung off his arms and legs, BUT he had blonde peach fuzz on his head and blue eyes. H called him "Old Man Finkelstein." He's 23 now, with gorgeous strawberry blonde hair and beautiful blue/green eyes. As a baby, I was urged to model him because once he gained a little weight, he was stunning. He was bright and alert but lead poisoning as a toddler gave him Aspie like issues. He's a 6 right now because he's lazy, unemployed and a college dropout. on the other hand, he doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs and is the only one willing to go to mother in law's house and clean up her accidents. He's good looking but way too heavy. daughter was not a cute baby but she was a healthy looking baby since she was on time and 1 1/2 pounds heavier than her older brother. She had a very watchful persona and I called her "Princess Serenity." She was and is, an old soul. She is 22 now, finishing her masters' in Special Education and she is probably an 8, because nobody (except of course, my H!) is perfect. She could become a 9 as she gets older. She is a nice looking young woman but, like her mom, her body is more attractive than her face. However, she has beautiful straight light brown hair, while I have disgusting curly crud brown hair. difficult child was also not the cutest baby.
