Where Are Harrison's Eyes?

After Harrison was born, we quickly made the transition to "those parents". You know, the ones whose Facebook wall only features pictures of their kids. We make no excuses. We're enamored and it's only going to get worse! But some have noticed a small detail missing from our pictures of Harrison; what do his eyes look like?

He does have eyes! They're currently a dark steel blue (Wikipedia says Oxford Blue is a closer match) and we're excited to find out what they ultimately become. The problem is capturing them in a picture. Right now he spends most of the day sleeping, so no go there. He's more likely to have them open when it's darker, but then it's difficult to capture their color and they just look black in the low lighting. Forget using a flash unless you want a picture of his scrunched up face. He seems most likely to open them wide while being burped, but that's not the most conducive time for picture taking. Mostly, however, he just looks freaked out or angry when we take his picture.

So, we are doing our best to bring you cute Harrison pictures with his baby blues on display. Until then, enjoy these less than successful attempts at capturing his eyes:

His distrust of the camera was apparent early on

I call this one "Sad Turtle"

Not too bad! Can I bring out his eye color with the flash?

Nooope

Okay, okay. No more today

Pretty sure this expression was followed by cleanup duty

Note to self: Turn off startling camera beeps

Stick with us folks! We'll get the hang of this eventually!
