A little O/T, but according to the scientific data & genetic info above, and from my own parents, I :

didn't inherit my mom's dominant brown eye color (but not dad's recessive hazel eyes either, as mine are green; maybe God 'pulled' the green from his, hehe)

didn't inherit my mom's dominant farsightedness (got dad's recessive nearsightedness)

didn't inherit my mom's dominant dark hair color (got dad's recessive lighter shade)

did inherit my dad's dominant wavy - not curly - hair (not mom's recessive straight hair)

did inherit my dad's dominant chin dimple

did inherit my mom's dominant fuller lips

OK, so it's: ?, father, father, father, father, mother.

Which means I'm 'Dad'! In partial appearance, of course. Mom gave me other stuff as far as a resemblance to her goes.

I was also reading that redheads are not always born with red hair....so it might take a while even after she is born!

I'm pretty sure I carry the recessive red gene, I was hoping for a red haired girl. Didn't get it, but she has incredibly beautiful hair. Mine is straight but she has lovely natural waves.

The first thing out of my mouth when my DD was born was "What color is her hair..please don't say red!!!"...LOL

My mom was a redhead so I am very partial to them.

My hubby & I both have brown eyes, my daughter has blue & granddaughter has hazel.

You never know! I have dark brown, husband has brown, our daughter is blonde and her twin has brown hair. Go figure.. Ha!

DH, older son, and I have light colored eyes, DS's and mine blue, DH's green. Younger son has darkest brown eyes? Have NO IDEA WHY, and don't bother to call Maury!

Can someone have freckles and not be a redhead?

Do all redheads have freckles?

[BaileyandBella]

I have blue eyes, but they are a darker blah color......LOL. I wish they were blue like the Caribbean ocean.

As a child, I had freckles and was not a red head.

Very interesting thread!!

My Mom = blue eyes, brown straight hair

My Dad = blue eyes, brown straight hair (but VERY blond as a child)

Me = blue eyes, blonde hair - stick straight as a kid, but after menopause I got some weird waves. Also inherited my parents' thick thick hair and their widow's peaks!!

My DH - brown eyes, brown hair

DS - blue eyes blonde hair

Interestingly, both DH and I are right handed but DS is lefty - not sure where that came from!!

A large bouncy horse in front of the sliding door..I could go on and on..

Just making the point once a grandparent you turn LAX LOL!!
