    I figured mine are still a little young, but I was curious when other people's babies eyes changed.

    Our pedi said they are usually at their permanent color by 1 year. Our babies' eye color changed at a few months old. They started out dark blue/gray and DD's lightened to bright blue. DS' changed to brown and both have stayed that way.

    My girls are 9 1/2 months and they still haven't settled on an eye color. My pedi said it can take up to 18 months.

    I think they might have my eyes, just darker. My eyes change colors at whim, varying from bright blue to green to gray depending on my mood and what I'm wearing. Their eyes seem to be hovering between light brown, green, and a steely blue. They'll probably end up hazel, but who knows?

    My girls still have beautiful blue eyes! Dh and I have green eyes all of the g-parents except my dad(who has brown) have green eyes, and only one of the g-g-parents has blue eyes(my meme).

    The two babies I had with blue eyes were still blue at 6 months. The ones that changed, had changed by 6 months. However, two of mine had hazel eyes (more green) up until they were 2/3yrs old, and now they are as brown as can be. I have a 10 month old who is still sporting hazel eyes, and we're hoping hers will stay that way! DH and I both have hazel eyes, and you would think that our of 5 kids, at least one of them will have them!!

    I asked this question a long time ago too. My DS has bright blue eyes that are gorgeous and I wanted them to stay that way and so far they have. DH and I both have brown eyes. So far DS's have stayed blue and DD's are a bluish/grey with a hint of brown in them. They have changed recently to a darker shade, but I wouldn't call it brown.

    I have heard they will be the color they are at around a year and may change in the shade.

    My smallest brother had the most amazing blue eyes (3 of us older siblings have blue eyes so no one was really surprised). His changed at about 2 years old and now are chocolate brown... almost black even!!! Everyone was surprised at that I can tell you!!!
    He looked like a carbon copy of my twin brother except for the eye thing so when we look at old pictures we can tell them apart by that (if they are the only person in the picture since they were born 10 years apart!!), but in the pics were they were 3 or 4 no one ever knows if it is Mike or Georgie.

    Mum has told me before that mine were blue 'till I was about 3 I think and then they changed to green. Sarah and Lila still have blue eyes but I have notice Sarah's getting green in the middle.

    I am hoping that the girls don't change they are both the most beautiful shade of blue. They are a glassy bright blue. I have blue eyes as does everyone in my family and dh has green eyes. So we shall see.

    My DS has very dark brown eyes, almost black. They look like chocolate chips [​IMG] His eyes changed brown at about 2 weeks old.
    DD's eyes are still sort of grey but I think they're beginning to change now. I think they'll probably be a green-hazel like mine are.

    Both babies were born with grey eyes. I have hazel and DH has black eyes. I was hoping DD's eyes would stay grey as my mom has grey eyes and I've always thought it looked really pretty.

    My twins still have a dark grey look to them. I hope to see a color soon. They are not blue or brown. My dh thinks they are going to have my eyes blue/green hazel.

    I was always told that they would change by 6 months, but my son's eyes changed between 2 and 2 1/2 years old. They went from blue to green - I miss those blue eyes!
