Has anyone ever seen this in their infants? Eden is 2 months old and has had one blue eye and one half brown since the beginning, but it's definitely more pronounced now. I love it, especially if it becomes one brown eye one green (her parents both have green eyes) because I think that's beautiful, but I'm just curious if this is a natural progression towards eye color change, and that it won't stay that way...
I had blue eyes with a spot of brown when born. The blue turned light green the brown stayed. It's only 1/4 brown so not terribly noticeable but still there.
Sounds absoultly amazing and beautiful! Do you share picture on MDC? My daughter has interesting eyes...a slate blue, since birth. I sometimes wonder if it is the tiny bit of american indian creeping in.
I have never seen eyes like your little one...but sounds great!!!
Having eyes of two different colors is called Heterochromia. It is often an inherited trait, but in some cases it can be an indicator of disease, so it may be something to ask your doctor about.
My parents friend has one brown and ne green. Not to compare but we have a dog with one blue eye and one eye that is half blue and half brown. It's very unique.

Not very unique.
Fairly common in merled dogs (such as blue merle Shelties, Collies, Aussies etc).
It comes with the merling gene (which dilutes black to gray, dark brown to light brown, and can also turn brown eyes to blue).
DS has one eye that's very clearly blue and one that's green or blue, depending on the light and the greenish one has some noticeable brown parts in it. I fully expected him to have brown eyes because I'm Indian and every. single. person in my family has brown eyes, except for one green-eyed great aunt. When I first noticed the brown spot, at about 3 weeks, I thought it was the beginning of an eye color change, but he's 1 now and it's still exactly the same...if anything, the blue & green parts have just become more defined. This past January, I noticed that DH's maternal grandmother also has green eyes with those brown spots in them, so I'm guessing that's where he got them from.
My guy has had blue/grey eyes since birth, but his left eye was about 1/4 brown. At 8 mos, that eye is almost 1/2 brown now, but the rest are still changing between blue and grey.
But, my grandma said that my mother's eyes were one color until she was about 4, and then they changed. So anything is possible.
My daughter was born with one blue eye and one half blue, half brown eye. Being a military child, she was thoroughly checked out. Her vision is perfect. She is now 8 and loves being different.
