Changing eye color?

[teraiin]

Has anyone's LO's eyes changed color?

DS had dark blue gray eyes when he was born and if anything they've lightened to a more "traditional" blue.

Google tells me they can change anytime in the first six months and sometimes even after.

So I was curious. Also for you STMs, did your first LO's eyes change?

DS1 had gray eyes when he was born. He now has beautiful medium brown eyes.

DS2 still has gray around the edges but his eyes are either turning brown, hazel or green. Can't quite tell yet.

How long did it take their eyes to "finish" changing?

DD was born with bluish eyes that turned hazel.

We never figured out what color DSs eyes were when he was born, but they're definitely brown.

DS 1 was born with blue and stayed blue, though the shade changes.

Ds2 was born with blue gray and I'm sure they will change to brown but haven't yet

[ellipses]

Both changed from dark blue to a lighter blue. DH and I both have blue eyes so it wasn't a surprise to me.

Their hair is another story. DS1 was born with strawberry blonde hair that turned bright red and is now more blonde again. DS2 was born with dark brown hair that is now light brown. I was born super blonde and my hair darkened slowly over the years. DH was born with brown hair, was a super blonde toddler, then at age 5 it suddenly turned dark brown again. He also gets red hair mixed in if he grows a beard.

DS has blue eyes. They were blue at birth but are a bit lighter now than they were then. I have green eyes and DH has blue.

DS1 was born with blueish gray eyes and quickly lightened to amazing blue.

DS2 was born with darker bluegray and are now intense gray but I think going brown.

R's went from deep blue to something between green and brown. They're almost certainly not done changing yet, so I'm excited to see if she takes after me or h on eye color.

Ds1 and 2 were both born will dark slate grey/blueish eyes. Ds1 has light blue now. They're beautiful, I'm jealous. lol Ds2 has also gone blue, but still pretty dark. I imagine they will lighten up too as H has very light blue eyes. I want to say ds1 was still lightning up after 6 months.

A friend's dd didn't finish changing until after she was a year.

Both kids were born with deep gray blue eyes. DDs changed by 4-5 months and are just a lighter shade of blue. DS hasn't had much change yet, maybe a little lighter.

Hmm the whole snoris family has blue eyes - including all 4 grandparents so I would be shocked if I's baby blues changed. Right now he has my kind of blue, a dark blue ring around the outside with a lighter (but still dark) blue in the middle. He got his first 'beautiful eyes' compliment today at baby yoga

O's eyes have lightened to a light blue like MH's. B's are still dark blue so I'm hoping they'll change to green like mine

[westiemom]

DD went from black eyes to dark brown. I bet they stay this way since I have dark brown eyes and DH has almost black (Chinese).

E has had grey eyes since day 1.... I hope they stay

[aaemommy]

Neither of my boys' eyes have changed. They're both blue-eyed babies!

[PAruby525]

But my nephew was born with light hair and light eyes that didn't change until he was 6 months. He's half Black and now has dark brow eyes and brown hair

H had dark blue eyes when he was born, he still has dark blue eyes. I have blue-gray and his daddy has medium blue eyes.. so I think they'll stick!

DH has blue eyes and I have brown. No one in my family has blue eyes so I thought I probably didn't have the gene. DS has brown eyes that changed quickly. DD's are still blue at this point.

DH has blue/green eyes and I have brown eyes. So I was curious to see what DS would have... Now I'm curious if they are going to stay blue haha

My son was born with blue eyes that turned brown. I have no recollection of when that happened, nor did I write it down. My first born is like a 2nd or 3rd baby as his baby book has a lot of empty spaces. Before having a kid, I didn't understand when parents didn't remember milestones...now I get it. So for you FTM's, write stuff down!
My daughter was born with blue and I'm hoping they stay that way (mine are blue and my favorite feature), but we'll have to wait and see.

Ds1 had my eyes at birth (navy) and have lightened to a beautiful cornflower blue. The most change occurred between year 1 and 2, I think...
DS2 had extremely dark blue eyes at birth and have lightened to navy. Seems like he will have blue eyes too!
DH has hazel.

[birkmmm]

Ds were dark gray when he was born now they are still grayish with a hit of green coming through.
Dh are brown
Mine were blue until I was in 7th grade then changed to green. (My brothers did this too - super strange)
