My son is less than 20 days old and his look changes several times a day. He always looks cute but sometimes his skin complexion changes or something about him just looks different.
Is there a peak age for baby cuteness? What is the time line for this?
I would say there is sometimes an awkward stage. I had my first baby's professional photo taken at 5 weeks and he was looking his worst. His newborn hair was starting to fall out and his other hair wasn't growing in yet. He looked much better a week or 2 earlier and a week or 2 later. I think about 6-9 months is a really cute stage, personality wise.
9 mos has always been the magic age for baby photos for my kids, except for the one where 9 mos was the "dead" of winter and she had bright red cheeks from dry skin/eczema in every picture.

9 months were the best baby pics for mine too. I think it is partly because they can sit up on their own and don't have to be propped up.
He still has some peach fuzz hair on his back. He has no eye brows.
Has anyone had a newborn with little blood vessle looking veins on his eye lids and cheeks?
I think some odd skin coloring is not unusual. It gets better. I've seen some babies who were pretty homely at first turn out to be just gorgeous around 6 or 9 months.

Yes - they are "breathtaking" (Seinfeld reference here) when they are newborns. One of mine was 5-8 at birth and down to 5 lbs a week later and then barely back up to about 5-10 between 2-3 wks. He was nothing but muscle, skin, and bones. And bright red/orange from the jaundice. And then of course the "baby acne" sets in and it looks worse in pictures than in person. Poor kid looked like a little old man for the longest time.

yes, I had a similar experience. 5 lbs 13 oz to start. Very scrawny, a little orange, and the baby acne. But he turned into the cutest baby ever!
