Will Brady be a Red Head?????

I think this is the most common question we get and I wish I knew the answer. It is actually much more complicated than you might think, even though everyone predicts this baby is going to come out with bright red hair and crazy freckles. Although that is a VERY good possibility, we have a complicated gene pool. Here is the breakdown...

Cara - Red Hair and freckles. Eyes: Blue
Colby - Red Hair as a child, brown now, lots of freckles. Eyes: Green
Cara's Mom - Red Hair as a child, auburn now (actually grey...shhh) Eyes: Brown
Cara's Dad - Blonde hair as a child, brown now, beard grows in red. Eyes: Blue
Cara's Brother - Blonde since birth, beard grows in red. Eyes: Blue
Colby's Mom - Black hair. Eyes: Green
Colby's Dad - Black hair. Eyes: Brown
Colby's Sister - Blonde hair as a child, brown now. Eyes: Hazel

Your guess is as good as mine. Should be a very interesting experiment and I can't wait to find out! Obviously hair color is the least of our concerns, but it is fun to think about. :)
