Ava's Eye Color

So according to Wikipedia Answers... "Almost all babies are born with blue or grey-ish colored eyes. Eye color will begin to change around 6 months of age and the eyes should have turned to their natural color by the baby's first birthday." Ava is currently 7 1/2 months.

Right now Ava's eyes are bluish-gray but I think I see some greenish-brown towards the pupils. Of course this is coming from a guy who is colorblind so who knows what her eyes really look like :). Anyway, this site predicts children's eye color and according to their calculation, Ava has a 37.5% chance of ending up with blue eyes, 12.5% chance of green eyes, or 50% chance of brown eyes. So I thought a little poll would be fun to see what you all thought. Check it out on the right-hand side. According to Wikipedia we won't find out until she is around a year old so we have 5 more months to wait.

If you want more details about the family genome, here they are...

Erin=blue eyes
Mike=brown eyes
Erin's mom=blue eyes
Erin's dad=blue eyes
Mike's mom=blue eyes
Mike's dad=brown eyes
Erin's 2 sisters=blue eyes
Mike's 2 sisters=brown eyes

We love the new header on the blog, especially Don Mike's pose at his Italian wedding! Too cool.

I'm thinking that Ava is going brown. There's no mystery to Elle -- she is definitely a blue, blue, blue eyed kiddo!

I second that the new header is very cool! And I also voted for brown eyes - maybe it's just the photos, but her eyes look dark to me.
