When Did Your LO's Actual Eye Color Come?

Laynie has blue eyes which does not seem possible given both mine and her donors eye color. I know blue/grey eyes are common at birth but when does actual eye color come in? TIA.

    Eye color can change up to about 6 months... Most babies that end up with brown eyes are born with almost navy blue eyes or a dark grey. But your LO might have blue (if one of your parents and one of donor's parents has blue eyes - it is a recessive trait so 25% chance).

    Max's eyes have always been the same.  They are very dark brown and have been since birth.  I thought it could take up to a year for the eyes to change, but I could be wrong.

    M's eye color would go between purple & brown until she was about 6 months old. They're brown now. Actually almost black. Pretty cool.

    My DD's stopped changing around 5-6 months...and stayed a crazy gray/blue/brown color.  My dad had blue eyes and my husband has hazel eyes.  I'm part Japanese so it still kind of weirds me out that the recessive gene won! LOL

    I thought I had read somewhere that it can take up to 9 months to change, but I could be wrong. 

    DS was born with blue eyes, and over the last couple of months his right eye has been getting some hazel/brown in it and the left eye is still almost entirely blue.  Its very strange and I'm kind of hoping they just both change entirely soon b/c I don't think I want him to be stuck with two different color eyes!  DH's eyes are hazel and mine are blue.

    Allie's changed to green from blue months ago.  And hadn't changed since.  I really hope they stay green.  DH has brown eyes, and mine are different colors (hazelish/brownish), I thought for sure she would have brown eyes.  But I love her green eyes.

    My eyes are different colors and I love it.  :)  One is more brown then the other.
