 Topic: Baby’s eye colour
Posted: 14 August 2009 at 7:05pm |
My little boy looks so much like his dad and the only thing he seems to have inherited from me so far is long fingers (good for piano playing or catching the rugby ball when he's an All Black!!).
So I was hoping that at the very least he might get my brown eyes. However I don't know at what point their eye colour stays blue or when it changes. Can anyone tell me approximately what age it might change if it's going to?
I think the colour is starting to change now but it could just be wishful thinking on my part!!

Sams started off dark blue and over time just got lighter and lighter and lighter! I think my next one with have his fathers dark brown eyes. Sams dad has blue eyes too but Sams are the same colour as mine.

Kind of like a mood ring Jezsika! Cute pics too!!
That's good then - I've still got plenty of time for his eyes to turn brown. And maybe as he gets older he might end up looking a little more like me. Anyone else had that happen where they start off looking like one parent and change?

My youngest three were all born with blue eyes, gremlins changed around 3 months and are now really dark brown. Lil miss had really stunning blue eyes till six months, then they gradually changed, now they're hazel, but they are changeable, sometimes greener, sometimes more brown.
I have mood ring eyes too, green/hazel depending on my mood, what I'm wearing etc.

Emily's eyes started out blue/grey, then around 2 months they started to look more blue, then 3-4 months they went green, and graduallly they got darker until by 9-10 months they were brown and have stayed brown. Funny though because I have green eyes and DH hazel. DH's mum has hazel and his dad green/blue. But my mum has brown so that's probably where it comes in. For a while there I thought she was going to have my green eyes.

Leonard's were pretty much black to begin with and haven't changed at all. I was hoping for a blue-eyed boy since DH has blue eyes but now I don't care because.... well, just look at them!
Okay, any excuse to show him off...

My eyes are blue and DH's are hazel. Brooke's eyes were dark blue/grey at birth gradually lightening to blue. But if the light shines just right you can also see a bit of hazel in there.
There is a site I've been to where you put in parent's and grandparent's eye colours and it tells you the likelihoods of different eye colours for your baby. Sorry I can't remember the nameof the site (sorry not very helpful!) but I'm sure if you Google it, you could find it.

My eyes are brown/hazel, DP's are true blue, and Elizabeth's are a stunning green now with these almost black flecks in them - really unusual. They started off baby blue, then lightened up to a true blue like DP's, then darkened to the current colour at about 9 months.
