dark haired parents/light haired baby??

My dh, myself and my first son all have dark hair and brown eyes, our second son has very light hair and blue eyes (i know alot of babies have blue eyes)

If this was like you, did your baby stay light??

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

When my father had hair it was black. My mom's hair was dark brown. My hair started as strawberry blonde and became light brown.

DH started as a blonde and before going grey was also dark brown.

Abby has what my natural haircolor was before I started coloring and highlighting - light brown with natural blonde and red highlights.

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

DH and I have dark brown hair.

DS is somewhat fair skinned and has blond hair. Although my MIL confirmed that DH has blond/light brown hair until 10. But I'll never forget when the doctor first saw DS's crown she popped up and asked..."who has light hair?"

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

My sister, her husband and first born, dark brown hair and eyes (Italian dark). Their daughter red hair (orange) blue eyes. Absolutely no way she is changing, her eyebrows are also red. So you never know.

My sister (first born) was born with very light hair, like white blond. My parents both have very dark hair. She stayed like that til about 5 or 6 and then it darkened considerably. Now she is brunette but a much lighter shade than I am.

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

Both DH and I are dark brown hair - I have brown eyes and DH has blue. So my son is brown and brown. No surprise there. But, my DD is blonde and blue, so we know where she gets her blue eyes from, just don't know about the blonde hair!

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

I am a very dark haried, fair skinned person with green eyes, my husband is a mousy brown with hazel eyes...and my son is really really blond with super bright blue eyes, he has stayed this way at 3 years old!

I have dark hair (it's almost black) and so does DH.

DH's eyes are a very dark brown and mine are hazel/brown..

Our son has fair skin, dirty blonde hair and BLUE eyes! I though the eyes might change and the hair get darker... but at nearly 27 months old they are still really blue and his hair is still really light

People say he looks like he has the map of Ireland on his face - the funny thing about that is that I'm Italian and DH is Greek (well ok DH does have a bit of Irish in him but he looks 100% Greek )

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

both my parents were dark-haired with brown eyes and olive skin- both my brother and I are fair-skinned, blue-eyed blondes...

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

My DH and I have dark brown hair and green eyes. Brooke is 14 months old and still has really blue eyes and blonde hair.

DH and I both did have lighter hair when we were little and DH was almost the same blonde when he was Brooke's age.

My Mom has blue eyes so I know where she got those from

Re: dark haired parents/light haired baby??

DH and I both have brown hair, DH has brown eyes but my eyes are light (hazel blue/green). DS1 is BLOND and blue eyes . I had blond hair as a baby/toddler but not that light!
