Eye growth and eye shape are independent, eye shape determines if you need new glasses.
As for eye growth:
"At birth, an infants eyes are about two-thirds the size of adult eyes. Until after their first month of life, most newborns lack complete retinal development, especially in the area responsible for visual acuity. From the second year of life until puberty, eye growth progressively slows. After puberty, eye growth is negligible."
There really isn't any part that doesn't grow. Unless this is a trick question.

I just had two grandchildren within the last two weeks. We were gazing at their beautifull new eyes on Christmas Day discussing this issue and concluded that there was no way their eyeballs would stay the size they are now.

Actually, your eyes do grow after birth. Not very much, but they do.

this is a bit confusing, because some say eyes, but even our eyes seem to grow! everything grows!

whoa! Your eyes do grow as you get older, in fact they grow into early adulthood, which is why people's glasses prescriptions often change in their teen years.
what doesn't grow? how about your belly button. That should only get smaller comparatively as you age.

as far as i know, the inner parts of the ear have their definitive size at birth. but i'm not 100 % sure. you know what i mean? those three arches, which constitute your sense for balance.

The eyeball. It's the same size at birth as it will be at adulthood.
