Answer 1

my eyes changed when i was about one years old. my eyes were grey when i was born then switched to hazel. i had black hair when i was born as well which it is now brown and light brown

Answer 2

Eye color is usually set by three months of age.

Hair color varies a lot with age. My hair was light brown as a child, dark brown as an adult, then gray, and now what little is left is white.

Readheadedness is probably a recessive trait, requiring the gene to be present in both parents. Since it is recessive, neither parent need be redheaded, just carriers.

Answer 3

True eye color sets in at around age 1. Hair will change through the years. He will probably have auburn hair and brown eyes since you have the dominant genes.
