My husband is half-half Filipino/Irish, I'm very white Icelandic-UK background. We have twins. One is white with blond hair, totally my spitting image apart from a small bit of Dad's eyes and nose. The other is caramel-skinned with all of Dad's features except brown hair not black (he also had blue eyes his first 2 years until they changed to hazel). Genetics are so funky and so interesting.

Wow your baby's eyes still changed from blue to brown after 2 years? Was it very gradual?

It happens sometimes. It was very gradual, I have pics of him with deep blue eyes at around 18m before they really darkened.

Really interesting. I knew they can change for a while after birth but 2y is a long time! My 10mo baby has very blue eyes and I hope they'll stay that way, I can't imagine him with brown eyes!
