If the dad has light blue eyes and the mom light/medium grey what would the baby's eyes have?

I maybe wrong but humans carry more than just two alleles for eye color. You can get eye color that is neither of them.

Eye colour, like hair colour, is multi-factorial - it uses several genetic loci and the simple dominant/recessive rules of inheritance do not apply to hair, eye and skin colour for that reason.
There are many shades of eye colour which still look blue, and many shades of colour which still look brown. Most people have a blend of both, but the brown is most noticeable.
That being said, eye colour is most likely going to be influenced by the parents' colour. The chances are, that if both parents have blue eyes, then there are not many brown-eye genes around, and their child will have blue or pale eyes, not brown. If both parents have dark brown eyes, then chances are, the child's eyes will be brown. If they have light brown eyes, or one has brown, the other blue, then the child's eye colour is less certain.
Going from more blue genes to least, eye colours are:

Pale blue/grey
Blue
Green
Hazel
Brown
Dark Brown
(there are uncommon variations within all these, like "Purple")

In your case, I would say that there are not many brown eyed genes around, so chances are, the baby's eyes will be blue, or at the most, pale.

Blue or Grey eyes are recessive genes what this means is in order to have blue eyes, you need to genes of blue, brown eyes for instance are dominant genes meaning that if for one to have brown eyes, you could have 2 brown genes or one brown and one blue. so based on to light color eyes I think its safe to assume the baby would have light eyes. but this is simple probability, there are other possibilities and this is a fairly complicated matter so to give you a more accurate probability of eye color please use the link below, and you must know the eye color of both parents and you, and your mates siblings.

good luck, Impaler

Well, they could be blue or grey or a mixture of both. You can't really determine those kinds of things.

You can figure this out by computing and analyzing using a cubic square.

It can be anything.It depends on which genes are dominant and which are recessive.
