My sons eyes are blue so far, but our eyes are brown!!?

Question

i thought for sure our son would get brown eyes, his dad has brown eyes, and so do both of his parents and his sister, my dad has brown eyes, and so does my brother. my mom has green.

so far, our son still has dark blue eyes around the outside, and a lighter greyish-blue around the inside. he is 3 1/2 months old. do you think if they were going to be brown, they would have changed by now?

it doesn't matter to me what colour they end up, i'm just curious.
lol, thanks for any feedback :o)

i know that they all start with blue eyes, i just figured if they were going to turn brown, they would have by now.

Answer 1

What color eyes does your milkman have? lol

Actually, I don't think it's so unusual to have different colored eyes from your parents. Both my parents have pale blue eyes and I have green. It could be something that your son has inherited from a grandparent or even a great-grandparent. I think blue eyes are lovely. :-)

Answer 2

Normal color for baby eyes. Even babies with blue eyes usually don't keep that steel blue newborn eye color. They can change during the first year or later.

My son had bright blue eyes until about 4 months ago when they started to look a bit green/hazel (he's 3 years old).

Answer 3

If the baby is caucasion his eyes will not finish changing color until he is around a year old. There is a lot of time for his eyes to change between now and then.

Also it not only depends on what color your eyes or the father's eyes are.... it also depends on what color the grandparents eyes are.

My eyes are hazel and dads eyes are brown... my fathers eyes however are blue and my son's eyes are a blueish gray. He is a year and a half now.

Answer 4

My brother-in-law and his ex-gf both have brown eyes and they had a bright baby blue-eyed little girl. Usually brown is dominant but not always. Other family members in your family tree might have had blue eyes that somehow got into her genes. My husband and I both have green eyes are our son has pale blue eyes. It's funny how things are like that.

Answer 5

maximum folk think of that eye coloration is inherited in particularly an common way, as defined interior the 1st hyperlink under. each and each individual consists of 2 variations, or 'alleles' of each gene - one inherited from their father and one from their mom. The blue version or 'allele' of the gene is recessive, i.e. if the dominant allele (brown) is contemporary then the blue character won't pop out. So somebody could have a blue allele while not having blue eyes - and as long as the two mothers and fathers carry a blue allele then there is an threat that the youngster could have blue eyes. in this trouble-free variety then a baby might have 2 brown eyed mothers and fathers (Bb, Bb) and as long as they inherited the 'b' version from each and each mothers and fathers they might finally end up being blue eyed (bb). this is particularly a good clarification of genes, alleles, dominance and so on., although this is not any longer the comprehensive fact for this occasion. Eye coloration is tormented by using a minimum of three diverse genes. Following this trouble-free variety, yet extending it to 3 genes, you will possibly might desire to have a blue allele from each and each parent, for each gene, for the youngster to finally end up with blue genes. i do no longer understand something correct to the 0.33 gene, however the calculator under bases the calculation on 2 genes purely, the final understood ones. this shows the probabilities of your baby having blue eyes is approximately 6.8%, which isn't noticeably low. in case you, your companion and each and all of the grandparents all had brown eyes it would be decrease. I did might desire to play around it to assert your husband had one green eyed parent (despite if it wasn't too lots of a play around as that parent might desire to have had a green allele someplace to finally end up having a green eyed baby.) there is extra clarification on the area with the calculator.

Answer 6

The blue eye gene is recessive, so you and your husband have a blue eye gene, apparently, and a brown eye gene, in you and your husband the brown eye gene is dominant therefore you have brown eyes. You both gave your son a blue eye gene so he has blue eyes.

His eye color could change though, I had blue eyes as a child, now I have greenish yellow eyes.

Answer 7

Most Baby's eyes start out blue;
My sister has a son; who's eyes didn't turn hazel until after he was two!
Give your son a while, and be proud of all eye colours he will and has. :D

Answer 8

Most white babies are born with blue eyes. It can take up to 3 years! to change to the color they will remain.

Before that, a baby’s eyes lack melanin in the stroma—much like blue-eyed people. Special stroma cells (called melanocytes) make melanin as the baby ages.

Here is a really cool site that gives you percent chance of color.

Answer 9

They'll turn brown in time, it may take up to a year. Me and my fiance have brown eyes, so I'm 100% sure my daughter will too. Her eyes are also grayish-blue, but I know they'll turn.

Answer 10

Every baby has blue eyes when first born. Give it time, his eyes will eventually change. I had them when I was first born and so did you. It should change in about 3 months or so.
