LO has blue-grey eyes and used to have bright blonde hair, but it has darkened to a dark dirty blonde, still much lighter than either of ours :)</p> <p>Our fathers are both blonde haired, blue eyed, as well as my two brothers. Our mothers and DH's siblings all have brown hair and eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776484 Sun, 12 May 2013 16:19:11 +0000 sera_87 776484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have blonde hair and blue eyes, DH has light brown hair (although he was blonde until about age 8) and green eyes. </p> <p>LO has blonde hair &amp; blue eyes. I wasn't surprised at all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776448 Sun, 12 May 2013 15:33:53 +0000 loveisstrange 776448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has light brown hair and hazel eyes and my dad has black hair and blue eyes. My oldest brother has red hair and hazel eyes, my middle brother has black hair and gray eyes and I have dark brown hair and hazel eyes.</p> <p>None of us look alike! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776447 Sun, 12 May 2013 15:31:21 +0000 fancyfunction 776447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have dark brown hair and brown eyes and my husband has brown hair and blue eyes. Lady M was born a blonde and at 5 months her hair is a reddish/brown/strawberry blond. It's all over the place. She also has blue eyes. I never thought she'd have such light features. I always joke that people probably think I'm her nanny when we're out and about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776430 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:56:07 +0000 SweetMamaM 776430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No kids of our own yet but my brunette, grey and brown eyed, fair parents managed to produce a child with auburn brown hair, hazel eyes and fair skin; a child with honey brown hair, brown eyes and olive skin; plus a fair-skinned blue eyed blonde! Genetics are so weird. Mum went to her high school reunion and said she'd had three kids. After seeing our photos, the common reply was "To the same father?" LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776384 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:08:39 +0000 hilsy85 776384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh has brown hair/brown eyes, I have brown hair/hazel eyes, and Lo is blonde with blue (very very blue!) eyes! He looks more like my sisters kid than ours (she is blonde and blue eyed). I think his hair will eventual get darker, but I hope his eyes stay blue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776369 Sun, 12 May 2013 13:50:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 776369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were both blonde hair, blue-eyed children. We both have darker hair now (well DH does, mine has been dyed so much that I have no idea what it is now). DS was born with dark brown hair and blue eyes. At around 1.5-2 months it started falling out in patches, so we buzzed it off. It grew back in light blonde. His eyes have stayed blue (so far, but it's my exact shade of blue so I'm optimistic they will stay.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776353 Sun, 12 May 2013 13:16:22 +0000 Boogs 776353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Green eyes/brown hair + Brown eyes/brown hair = Hazel-ish brown eyes/brown hair </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776340 Sun, 12 May 2013 13:09:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 776340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am extremely fair (think, Casper the Ghost lol) with red hair and hazel eyes, my mom is also extremely fair with blond hair and green eyes and my dad is very Mediterranean looking: black hair, olive skin and very dark eyes.</p> <p>DH is half German and half Mexican with black hair, olive skin and very dark eyes as are both his parents.</p> <p>LO was born with jet black hair with bronze tips and highlights and it keeps getting lighter and lighter and now is basically the same shade as mine, with red/auburn and blondish highlights. Her eyes are still really dark and she is very fair like me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776321 Sun, 12 May 2013 12:33:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 776321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have brown hair, very dark brown eyes. DH has gray eyes and ash brown hair, but he was platinum blonde as a baby! DD got his hair color (as it is now) and brown eyes, but it's lighter than mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776303 Sun, 12 May 2013 12:10:27 +0000 tinyperson 776303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a brown eyed brunette, DH has greeny blue eyes and light brown hair. LO has red hair and brown eyes...my dad has red hair and DH had reddish hair at birth. Hoping it stays red! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776289 Sun, 12 May 2013 11:57:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 776289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to see what LO looks like either-- the crazy thing to me is that so much of that stuff was determined in the instant that egg and sperm met! </p> <p>Since I come from a big family, it's funny to look at how it played out-- my parents both have very dark brown hair, dad has brown eyes, mom has hazel. Kids are: brown hair, brown eyes (x 2, me and my brother), dark brown hair green eyes, blond hair blue eyes, blond hair hazel eyes. Our own little genetic experiment. </p> <p>Both my nephews are very blond, and one has crazy blue eyes (so does his mom). DH is kidn of strawberry blond with light blue eyes, so we'll see what LO comes out like! I hope he or she doesn't get DH's super pale, prone to sunburn skin, that's all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776280 Sun, 12 May 2013 11:50:54 +0000 Bookish 776280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to see what LO's hair color is! I have dark brown hair + blue eyes, as does DH. However, DH was born with very blonde hair that slowly darkened (and now it's almost black!) plus he has a very reddish beard that he inherited from his red-headed mama. </p> <p>So, I have no idea if I will have a red-head, a blondie, or a brunette. All bets are off! Genetics are definitely wacky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/genetics#post-776271 Sun, 12 May 2013 11:44:07 +0000 lomom 776271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Genes are so crazy. </p> <p>I'm a blue eyed brunette, DH is a brown eyed brunette. </p> <p>We have a blue eyed blonde!</p> <p>Granted, I was blonde as a LO and my hair darkened with age to a light brown... So maybe LO's will darken with age. My mom and brother are both blue eyed blondes, LO is a spitting image of my brother! </p> <p>How did the hair color and eye color genes play out for your LO? </p>
