Every morning when I go in to get Alethea, the first thing I do is to look at her eyes and see if I can see any hint of brown creeping into her baby blues. I love her eye color just like it is right now. It’s kind of a rich blue/gray and I think it’s the most gorgeous eye color! If it were a paint chip, it would be called “Deep Water”. (And by the way, how do you get the job of naming paint colors, because I sooooo want that job. Or the street naming job, then I could make “Central Parkway”, “Line Drive” and my favorite “Order In The Court”, but I digress…)
So far I haven’t really noticed any change in Alethea’s eye color. They may be slightly darker than when she was born, but it could just be my imagination. For now, I will continue to wait and wonder, will it be blue or brown?
You may have to wait quite a while to know for sure. Noah’s changed at 11 or 12 months. One thing you can be sure of – she’ll be beautiful either way!
Spoken like a true grandmother.
I think Lincoln’s changed over faster…I think it was Deacon’s eyes that didn’t turn brown until a year or so.
Our kids have all gotten the dominant brown…
The books say eye color is fixed after 6 months, but it sounds like that isn’t always true, so I guess I could have another 8 months to wait. They’re still blue today though!
