I wonder what color eyes Gman will have?
Some times when I am playing with G I find myself wondering what color eyes he will have when he is older. Well last night I did like I always do when I have a question, I asked Mr. Google. He is so handy.
I found out that the reason all babies are born with blue eyes is that they have not yet started to produce the dark brown eye pigment melanin when they are born. As a result, their eyes will remain blue until they start to produce melanin some time between 6 months and a year. At that time, the more permanent color of their eyes will set in. I also found a cool eye color predictor. Just plug in some information about the color of your relatives’ eyes and presto…out comes a prediction about your baby’s eye color.
G has a 75% chance of having green eyes and a 25% chance of having blue eyes.
Here is the link if you want to try it out. The predictor program is very simple and the page also has some good basic information about the whole eye color thing I alluded to above.
