Your hair and eye chart is really cute, too. My husband and I both have blue eyes, but we have a couple family members who always repeatedly ask, "Do you think his/her eyes will stay blue??" with every one of our babies. We keep explaining that our babies' eye color just isn't going to be that much of a mystery, but they always forget. You'd think they'd have remembered by the time we got to our third baby.
I wish I knew more about how hair color worked, though. My girls, for example, were both born with very dark hair that was rubbed off and grew back blond. The older girl's hair is now darkening up again (it's still blond-ish, but I think it will be definitively brown within a couple more years), and I assume our youngest will do the same. Our boy followed the same pattern, although his hair wasn't as shockingly dark at birth.
