It's now 8 months and they are now a browny greeny blue. I imagine they will be brown like her father's in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1618006 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:37:31 +0000 PurplePeony 1618006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had navy blue eyes at birth. They've lightened up considerably and are now grey-blue around the outer edge with light brown flecks around the pupil. DD has brown eyes and mine are hazel (but were more brown when I was a kid -- I'm not exactly sure when they changed but it was during my high school years). It will be interesting to see how DD's continue to change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1618001 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:01:46 +0000 lemondrop 1618001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both have started blue, but #1 went green by 6 months and still is at almost 2 1/2. #2 is still too early to tell... according to the calculator we have a 66% brown, 23% green, and 10% blue phenotypes :) </p> <p>@MsLipGloss: awesome calculator, I love genetics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1617995 Wed, 07 May 2014 00:43:09 +0000 Monny 1617995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was born with medium blue eyes. They've gotten a bit lighter as he's gotten older and now at 6 months they seem to have a bit of yellow around the pupil. Not sure if they will stay like that or still change. I have brown eyes (but most of my family have blue eyes) and my husband has green eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615420 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:26:22 +0000 kjpugs 1615420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I heard that green is the last color to develop (takes the longest?) I would love LO to have green eyes but I'm 99.9% sure that won't happen :silly: Her eyes started DARK blue and now are a beautiful lighter blue leaning grey a little at almost 7 months (exactly like mine.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615406 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:23:22 +0000 fancyfunction 1615406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M was born with dark, murky blue eyes that started to lighten pretty quickly. They're a pretty light blue now at 17 mo. I have brown eyes and my husband blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615402 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:22:44 +0000 ShootingStar 1615402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D was born with very dark blue eyes and over time they've lightened. He's close to 6 months now and they're several shades darker than my light blue eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615383 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:19:57 +0000 BananaPancakes 1615383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was born with very dark blue eyes, and by 15 months or so they've lightened a bit, and are now green in the centers. My husband has green eyes and I have bright blue eyes, so it'll be interesting if they remain a mix of the two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615373 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:16:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 1615373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This calculator really helps . . . my DH and I would only ever have blue- or green-eyed children. </p> <p><a href="http://genetics.thetech.org/online-exhibits/what-color-eyes-will-your-children-have" rel="nofollow">http://genetics.thetech.org/online-exhibits/what-color-eyes-will-your-children-have</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615352 Tue, 06 May 2014 08:06:36 +0000 septca 1615352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We knew DD would have light eyes (DH's are blue, mine are bluish green, and no one in either of our families has brown eyes). She was born with those dark blue-grey baby eyes and they gradually lightened starting at about 3 months. By 5 mo, she had my husband's bright blue eyes - and still does at 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615324 Tue, 06 May 2014 07:58:15 +0000 NurseMommy 1615324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was born with medium blue, and they're getting more blue (11.5 months), but I know mine went from blue to brown at two years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615131 Tue, 06 May 2014 05:56:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1615131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine changed from blue to hazel at three years. My sisters went from blue to green at fifteen.<br /> DD has blues but I'm not getting to attached. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615119 Tue, 06 May 2014 05:34:48 +0000 ValentineMommy 1615119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Same!</p> <p>DS was born with deep deep blue eyes and around 2m they started to lighten up. They're now blue-gray just like mine (he's 15m) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615112 Tue, 06 May 2014 05:22:32 +0000 artsyfartsy 1615112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering this too! T has dark navy eyes but recently they've started getting lighter and grayer. I have gray green eyes and his dad has brownish green eyes. I read (and I don't know how true this is) that if both parents have green eyes then there's only a 1% chance the baby will have blue. So I think they'll change...just wandering when! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615091 Tue, 06 May 2014 03:36:35 +0000 lamariniere 1615091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: This was the same for both of my babies. They were both born with dark navy blue eyes and they got much lighter by about 8 weeks. DS is 3 and his eyes are a lovely blue-grey color and DD is 5 months and hers have become a brighter blue.</p> <p>@nana87: I have brown eyes (I'm half Chinese) and both of my LOs have blue/blue-grey eyes! I guess I passed on my mom's recessive blues both times. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615082 Tue, 06 May 2014 03:01:54 +0000 nana87 1615082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also wondering about this! Los eyes are blue now and in hope they stay. That way, like dh's. Mine are brown </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615079 Tue, 06 May 2014 02:56:55 +0000 Pumuckl 1615079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were a deep dark blue when he was born and started to get lighter and lighter around 2.5/3m. They are now a light blue/gray color.</p> <p>(ETA: He is 13m now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615067 Tue, 06 May 2014 02:34:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1615067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: love green eyes! We would love for the baby blues to stick around. Right now, they also sometimes look gray, which is equally gorgeous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615055 Tue, 06 May 2014 02:02:24 +0000 Dandelion 1615055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering this too. My mom and I had this conversation earlier and couldn't remember when. I'm hoping M will get some green! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eye-color-change#post-1615047 Tue, 06 May 2014 01:49:57 +0000 LovelyPlum 1615047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your baby's eyes changed colors, how old were they when it happened? Was it a permanent change? What color were they originally? What color are they now? </p>
