Baby Blues


There are some great questions out there. Profound, intellectual questions that reflect man’s insatiable quest for knowledge since the dawn of time. Questions like, why does light sometimes act like a particle and sometimes like a wave? Or philosophical questions regarding the subjectivity of morality. But we don’t have time for questions like that. The real question around here is: what the heck color are Harper’s eyes?

Like so many babies, her eyes started out a beautiful blue-gray, and they just got blue-grayer as she got older (if that makes any sense). But by the time she was a year old they started to get small, brown flecks in them. Her pediatrician took the easy way out and just calls them blue (she’s a quitter). Currently we are calling them “blayzel” (as in blue-gray-hazel, but I’m not sure hazel is even a good description). Some people have said they look green but we don’t see it.

So, what do you think? Blue? Gray? Hazel? … or a horse of a different color all together?

  1. They are a whole lotta gorgeous! Blue/gray/hazel looks about right to me. Maybe they will be hazel in the end?

    1. I don't know... I just looked up hazel and it means either reddish brown or greenish brown. I just don't see it.

  2. Regardless the colour they are beautiful.
    Maybe she will be like me and have her change depending on the colour she is wearing. If I wear any greens people say my eyes are green, blues- they think they are blue. They are unique for sure and oh so cute....(hers not mine)

    1. Thanks Jenny. You have beautiful eyes, too.

      I was just talking about you with Bess. How is Ruby? I was so worried about her!
