Long, Beautiful Hair
Category: The Mommy |

I think that when you have a child, you have this expectancy of his/her looks. Most parents can look at eachother and say, “Oh, because we both have x, so will our child.” But there is nothing about Bryan and I that looks the same.

Bryan can tan like an indian. I, however, get third degree burns from driving to work.

Bryan has bright blue/green eyes. Mine are dark as coal.

Bryan is tall and lanky. I .. am not.

But the one thing that we have NO clue on is hair color. We seriously have no idea what color Tony’s hair will be. To be quite frank, I’ve been dying my hair some shade or another since I was eleven, and Bryan .. well, Bryan doesn’t have a lot to judge by.

Everyone at work teases me about a redheaded baby, but puhleeze.. hair dye doesn’t seep into DNA, does it? (And how AWESOME would that be?!) Bryan swears he had red hair as a child, but I’ve seen pictures and I don’t see it. I will testify that he used to have bright flecks of copper in his beard, but I’m not sure that’s enough to solidify our child as a redhead.

I think we should start a pool. What color do you think Tony’s hair will be?

    I’m betting Tony will be a blonde. Those recessive genes are pretty powerful. And no, hair dye won’t seep into DNA (darnit).

    I think that when he comes out, his hair will be dark. But then he’ll become blonde as a toddler, and later go back to dark. I just say that because it covers a lot of bases.

  3. The J-BO Says:

    I think that he will most likely have hair like Jack, otherwise, he’ll have gold blond hair like we did until he’s about 12.
