Preston and Macy Bishop's Kids: Maxwell and Vivienne

October 19th

I forgot these - 6 week pictures of Preston, Max, & Vivienne
So... we figured out that
Maxwell looks just like Preston - but has my fair skin & blue eyes are recessive (I have greenish/blue & Preston has a brown/orange).
Vivienne looks like me - but has Preston's skin tone & a mix of our eyes - they are a deep green/brown.

  • Eye color is one of the weird polygenic traits that are a bit hard to figure out. Blue, while tending to be recessive, is actually dependent on many differing loci, so it can also be a strong trait depending on genetic makeup... and is frequently tried to hair coloring (or likely, they have similar gene loci dealing with melanin levels in common).

    Only by about age three will the eyes be pretty much the same color for the rest of their lives.
