These eyes come from MY daughter! It is ironic because it is almost unbelievable that they are blue since both her dad and I have brown/hazel eyes. She got the two recessives from us somehow though. I wouldn't typically brag about the beauty of my daughter (well maybe I would), but these blue eyes are something else. It is the absolute most frequent comment I get. From the grocery clerk, to a fellow Costco shopper, to the doctor, to the gas station attendant. EVERYONE comments on them. The pediatrician in the hospital even commented on how blue her eyes were...at 2 days old! Which I of course eat up as a proud mommy! They are pretty incredible! :)
I think back now to when I was pregnant with her and how I would endlessly think about what she would look like. Would she have lots of hair at birth like I did, or would she be bald? Who would she look like most? Never once did I imagine that I would have a blue-eyed baby. We of course thought they would change right away too, but they haven't.
Even funnier though is that she also has sandy blond hair (again her dad and I both have dark brown hair) and it is a little curly in the back (again her dad and I have straight-as-can-be hair). Kevin keeps telling me that he really is going to start to wonder about the actual likelihood (or lack there of) that she is his one of these days. If she wasn't exactly like me and him in every other way he might actually contemplate her paternity!
Even if Kinley did not have blue eyes she would be beautiful, but they do add a special something that is hard to not notice! We'll see if she keeps them, but as I have always thought, I think she will!
What features do your kids have that are so far from what you expected or different than yourself?

How interesting that she got blue eyes. They are beautiful! Very, very bright. I can't imagine how surprising that must have been.
I hope they stay too. They are just breathtaking. Stopping by from Mama Kats!
Hey Melissa, its been fun reading your blog. Mckinley is so adorable!! Did Miranda tell you we have been house hunting in Issaquah? Maybe there will be some playdates in the future if we end up out there closer to you guys- with baby Crawford too of course :)
Those blue eyes are gorgeous, but of course they would be -she is perfect in every way! So much like her Mama and Daddy!
