Did anyones baby's eye color change around or after 6 months? DD has a really pretty dark grey color and I am hoping it stays. DH has a dark brown but mine are a very light blue so it may be a transition to brown.

My 7-month-old DD still has blue eyes. The only one in either of our families with blue eyes was my grandfather but his were a lighter blue. DH and I have brown, 3 of our 4 parents have hazel and the other has brown. My other DD is 10 years old and had blue eyes for a few years before they looked green with some things she wore and blue with others. Around 4-6 years old, they turned hazel and have been hazel since. Everyone I know whose babies have brown eyes turned before or around 6 months. Your baby might keep the blue if you have blue eyes. I think our DD's are eventually going to turn hazel like her sister's did but they're really cute blue for now.

DS's blue eyes turned brown around 4 months. DD's dark blue eyes keep getting lighter by the day (9 months) I once had a pediatrician tell me that when parents asked when a kid's eyes would finally settle on a color he joking tells them 18, because you never know.

My sister had blue eyes and then they turned green when she was 5. DS is almost 6 months and his eyes are greenish around the pupil but dark blue around the outside. My husband has green and I have a grayish blue color, they usually takes the hue of what I wear.

Ours are exact opposite I have the dark brown eyes and my dh has the light blue, our dd has blue eyes and now new ds has dark grey eyes. I am hoping they go brown myself.
