eye color

jenmbott · August 2013

Now that all these babes are almost a year old, most of their eye colors should be set. So what color is your LO's eyes? If you choose different colors on different days PIP.

DS's are still blue. Don't know how, don't know why, but I hope they stay that way. I think I would cry if they changed now!

MrsKipper · August 2013

I wanted Nola to have brown eyes so she would have SOMETHING of mine, but I love her blue eyes now. I really hope they never change! DH has blue eyes so I doubt they will change.

I still don't know what color Reid's eyes will be. Maybe brown? But they're still blue, grey, and even green some days. So strange.

My two other kids have light blue eyes, so I'm not use to all this change

Whoa! Lot of blue-eyed babies on this board. DD's are so blue I'd be surprised if they changed. But DS had gray eyes that looked brown or dark blue depending on what he was wearing until right around a year. Then they turned obviously very dark brown.

N's are blue...Both sets of grandparents and I have green eyes, so I really thought hers would change and be green. Mine changed really late...like school age, so who knows.

My DH and I both have blue so it was highly likely that's what our kids would have too. However, around 2.5-3 yrs. ,DS2 eyes changed shades. One eye is a gray/blue and the other is a blue/green. It freaked me out, but the pedi said it was totally normal. You have to look closely, but once you do it's obvious. My dad has one green and one hazel eye and he's never had a problem.

DD has brown eyes 85% of the time but in certain lights you can see tones of gray and green. DH's eyes are the same way too, I could swear he has green eyese sometimes and then they are dark brown the rest of the time. Here's the best pic of her peepers with the other colors

I have brown eyes (from birth) and DH has blue. DD's eyes are green and DS's are hazel/green.

Gray99 · August 2013

DS started out with dark blue eyes (so dark it was hard to tell they were blue). They have now changed to a medium gray. I think it's fitting because its like his name. It's weird though because I have blue eyes and DH is hazel.

Flamingemu · August 2013

L's eyes are blue most days with a streak or two of brown. I am pretty positive they will stay this weird hazeley color.

tinyhumantoe · August 2013

Whoa. Looks like more will be turning, because I doubt there are that many double recessive kids in the group!

C's are blue. H and I are both dark-haired, brown-eyed, so where we got a blonde, blue-eyed kid is beyond me.

The mail carrier is a woman, before someone suggests that.

This is us exactly with DS - I am Italian & MH is Hispanic. DS is blonde haired, blue eyed!

DD at least has brown hair, but her eyes are blue, too!

misspunky · August 2013

DD has bright blue eyes. I have blue eyes too, and so far she looks pretty much exactly like me.

linzeek44 · August 2013

I always think his eyes look blue but DH says they look green, so I went with different color on different days.

Is the red hair his too? She's so damn cute.

@cheeseandrice Thanks! Actually, DH has dark brown hair like me. Crazy enough, the red hair came from both of our dads!

Stephorse · August 2013

My DS's eyes are similar to mine, but darker. I have bluish green eyes with brown around the pupil. DS's eyes are a dark blue and more gray around the pupil. I wouldn't be surprised thought if they did get darker or turn brown as DH has brown eyes.

jbBeans · August 2013

MH has greenish blue eyes and mine are dark blue with gold around the pupil. Linden's are a light light blue with a dark rim and a bit of gold around the pupil, too--very much a combo of us. They've been the same her whole life so I think this is it! They're pretty

Stasi · August 2013

Kate's are a steely grey/blue. I love them. DH and I have hazel eyes, so that's what I thought she would have. My mom has almost turquoises eyes and I always wished I had that color!

James eyes started to get more green in them well after a year. Even at 2.5, I think his eyes are still changing. Leo's are still blue but have a little more green to them every day. All I know for sure is that they won't be as dark as mine. I have hazel/brown eyes and DH has green eyes. My Dad and most of DH's family have blue eyes though.

Hyaline · August 2013

DD has blue-green eyes--pretty much an exact mix of me (green) and DH (blue). At this point I think they're going to stay this weird teal-y color or edge more toward green.

BTW, if I recall correctly, there are like 7 different genes that affect eye color, so it's not a simple "punnet square" kind of equation and there can be lots of surprises

L8kissie · August 2013

So far, dd is still rocking the beautiful blue she's had, but I'm not counting on it sticking. Ds' turned from blue to hazel between two and three years, completing the cloning of Dh. I was quite sad I lost my only physical trait. Darn strong genetics.
