Eye color: Eye color is based on more than just the parents' eye color. Other genetics of eye color that may not be apparent but can be passed down also play a role. Eye color can also change in babies till a year old. Here is more info on eye color: http://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/Pages/Newborn-Eye-Color.aspx

Depends: Since brown is a dominant gene, you could both have it while carrying a non-dominant gene for another color like blue.If you or your partner have a pair of brown genes, all your offspring would be expected to have brown eyes.If you both carry only one brown gene, the baby might get the non-brown gene from both (1/4 chance) and have eyes that are not brown.
