I'm glad to hear your appointment went so well!
Caroline (almost 8 months) has been 'practicing' with sunglasses since she was diagnosed. Her first PO recommened that we start right away. I had a hard time finding ones to fit her when she was so young and now that they fit her she won't keep them on for long. One positive about it being winter is that I can cover her hands with mittens and she can't pull sunglasses off as easy- so they stay on a little longer. I put them on her everytime we go outside (along with a hat). She pulls them off, I put them back one, she pulls them off, I put them back on....eventually she will get it 
Have you looked into early intervention in your area? A diagnosis of albinism is usually enough to autmatically qualify for services.
Caroline loved high contrast toys (Sassy makes great ones) and toys that had lights and sounds at that age. If you look back at previous posts you can find lots of tips.
