When Evey was born we were all expecting her to have brown eyes (since we don't think Andy has any recessive blue eye gene in his family!) So because she came out with grey eyes, with a hint of blue, I decided to do some research. Here's what I found on BabyCenter.com...
Question: Will my baby's eyes stay this color?
Answer: Maybe, maybe not. Babies of African and Asian descent are usually born with brown eyes that stay brown. Caucasian babies are often born with steel gray or dark blue eyes; they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time they're 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes actually have more pigment than grey or blue eyes, even if they appear lighter in color.)
