When Elise was born her eyelashes had no color. They eventually turned blonde. Now they're sort of reddish to light brown. She didn't look like she had any eyebrows, either. Her eyebrows are now pale and blonde, but the hairs are slightly longer, so you can sort of make out an eyebrow shape.
I know that when babies are still in the womb, there's a long time while the baby is growing that the eyes and the hair have no pigment. I wonder if Elise's eyebrows and eyelashes looked so pale because she was born a little bit early. Or maybe all babies are like that.
Just one more thing that contributes to newborn babies looking weird.
Andrew just started growing eyebrow hair around 6 weeks. His eyelashes are also dark now.
