No, by the time that babies are that old, it's pretty much going to stay that color. Two dark eyed people can carry the recessive trait of blue eyes and give it to their child, no problem. It's a 1 in 4 chance. Congrats!

They might change, but most likely stay light. I have dark brown eyes, my husband has light brown eyes, and we have 3 kids...two with blue eyes and one with brown. With genetics, two brown eyed parents could have blue eyed kids if there is blue in the family. My son is now 5. He had denim blue eyes until he was about 14 months old. They actually got lighter with more of a green color now.
My neice had grey blue eyes until 12 months and turned a pale light brown color that almost looks yellow! I think that if a baby's eyes are a clear light color by 4 months, they'll stay light. They just may change to a different hue, but most likely won't go dark brown.
Enjoy your beautiful baby!

The eye color is usually set by 6 months old.My son was born with dark blue eyes and then by 6 months they have turned to a hazel color-and that is how they have stayed and he is 18 months old now.

my son was born with steel blue eyes and they never changed until he was nearly a year old. Both my hubby and I have brown eyes, but beyond my sister and my parents about half my family has blue eyes, his family is mixed like that as well. They did eventually change and now his eyes are a beautiful deep brown like mine. My hubby has light brown eyes. My son seems to be taking after me for looks a great deal. His hair is red like mine was, it is turning a little brown like mine did and he has my darker brown eyes. He has my hubby's personality completely. He is such a ham.

sometimes they stay that way and sometimes it takes awhile sometimes it can take up to 3 years to change color. its more common to take that long though if the child has dark skin. my nieces eyes are blue/grey and shes 3 yrs old, every one else has brown eyes.

I think there is plenty of time yet for them to change. I remember writing 'peculiar' in the baby book when my first son was born, cos I couldnt tell WHAT color they were. They turned hazel like mine tho cant remember when. (his Dads were blue)

They can change anytime within the first year. But, I would say that they have a good chance of staying blue.

They might, I used to have that eye colour at that age. Now they are more of a brilliant bluish-green that slightly changes colour depending on my mood.
You really can't tell though, it's best to wait it out.
