Oh my this is totally random!

Jess, so don't worry, i've been studying genetics in one of my papers and have been learning that child sometimes have random hair colour. Its due to having the ressisive gene in you or Cory.

How to explain it easily is hard.

2 people both have dark hair dark eyes. these people have a 1 in 4 change in having a light haired coloured child. This is because further back in both of your gene pools someone would of had blonde (the ressesive) hair. They have a 2 in 4 or half a change of having a child with dark hair as that is the domiment. And a 1 in 4 change of having a redhead.

She is so totally normal and beautiful.

awww, she's such a wee cutie!! what a beautiful bubs.

hehe thanks Tis a very cool name indeed

My brother has darkish hair but has these random red ginger bits in his beard, and his little girl's mum has really dark hair, and little girl is about 20 months old and she was born with darkish hair but now it has turned into the most STUNNING auburn color - honestly it is the loveliest color everyone coments on how stunning it is - if Ella gets that she will be a lucky girl indeed!

my hair is drak brown his dad has dark mousey hair james has blondie/brown hair i have brown eyes his dad has bule and james are bule aswell

I have brown hair and green eyes, as did Kiya's bio father... Kiya has blonde hair and brown eyes.

Nat has dark brown hair and green eyes (but was blonde for the first couple of years of his life) and Josiah has white-blonde hair and going-green eyes... its going to be interesting to see if Josiah doesn't change, goes the same blonde shade as Kiya or darkens up like his Daddy did!

I was born blonde haired, and it changed to mousy brown, hence why i dye it... i don't actually know my real colour any more, although i do know in summer it goes very light. Mike is dark haired and olive skinned, so Paris was born with black hair and olive skin and DARK eyes. She now had a light brown colour hair with blonde bits through it, especially at the ends, and her eyes definately changed... oh so envious of those big blue eyes.
And then out pops Ayja, tiny skinny fair skinned RED haired Ayja!   argh genetics are so random. lol, I know how things work with that but still, our kids couldn't be more different.. I just wonder if she will change at all like her sister has.

ooooooh just met miss ella herself, she is GORGEOUS!!!!! and so tiny!

Ella is just the cutest wee button in her pics!  I'll bet you get heaps of comments on her. 

I'm the only redhead in my family - after learning basic bio at high school I came home convinced I was adopted and no-one had told me!!  There's a high chance our bubs will have red hair since I was born with it, and hubby gets faint reddish highlights... we'll be blown away if she's blonde or dark (and if she has anything but green eyes, since that's what we both got)!!  But if one more person sends me a "save the poor ginga's" website link or other such joke for our baby I'll SCREAM at them! 

Brown is the major dominant so it may have come from either one of you.
