They are blue. I have blue eyes, and DF has hazel. My parents have brown, and his father has blue, and I believe his mother has hazel. So it's all a lil exciting to see where he lands. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Tara because your DF's dad has blue eyes he (your DF will carry a gene for blue eyes..you will have both the blue eyed gene so going by that Phoenix has a 50/50 change of his eyes staying blue. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Its about 2yrs they can change althou some adults eyes have gone darker or lighter at different stages. I am almost certain Alize will end up with Brown eyes as his father has brown and so do I. The closest relative to him with blue eyes is his great nana on one side and no know ones on the otherside. I will try and serch a thread we had about this awhile ago. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Kate was born with blue (mine are brown- my mums are green, my Dads are brown. DHs are blue/grey- his Dads are blue and his mums are hazel). They are still blue but have greyed up a bit and also look green in some lights. They have hazel flecks around the iris like DHs but I think they will either stay blue or change to blue/grey (sometimes greeny!) like DHs  Shes 7 months now and I'm sure they're still changing though.

Elle is 16.5 mths and her eyes are still changing. At 2 my eyes were still very blue but now they are green/grey so I'd say they can change at almost any age up until 4 or so. ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

I've got a book that says that if the babes eyes are blue at 10wks they are likely to stay blue, but the final colour might take up to 12months. I'm with you though - it is so exciting to see what colour they will be. Anyssa's are still beautiful blue and she is 10wks, so I'm hoping they'll stay that way. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| Our boy's eyes have started changing already, he was born with a sortof dark blue/grey, and they're already turning to a dark brown. He will be brown, we have no doubt, as both sides of our families have brown eyes. |

I think Alize will have eyes like your Danni and keep changing. His are really weird at the moment, somethimes they look blue and other times he can have green/hazel. He has some brown freekles in one eye. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It's all very interesting. As there are two people with blue, two people with hazel and two people with brown in our family punnet. I hope he keeps his blue eyes, they suit him so much.
My parents have brown eyes, and I was born with bright blue eyes which eventually changed to a grey blue. I was also born with blonde hair and they had brunette. I was told I took after my grandmother, for years I told myself I was adopted hahaha! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Joshua was born with blue eyes, which stayed blue til he was around 12 months old, they've now been changing gradually - but noticably - and are a hazel-brown colour. I have hazel eyes, and Jono has blue-green eyes. |

My eyes STILL change color, they are green but depending on what mood I'm in etc. they can be more brown-green or hazel.
All three of mine were born with blue eyes, Maya's changed within a few weeks but the gremlins had blue eyes until they were 4-5 months or so. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
