Oranges

The boys recently tried oranges and really loved them.  Our pediatrician had us hold off on citrus fruits until 9 months.  Some doctors say hold off on citrus until after babies first birthday due to allergy concerns.  But, August and Jude haven't had problems with any foods so we dove into a bag of Cuties.  That bag was gone within one week!

Oranges are known for having an abundance of Vitamin C.  Oranges are also very high in fiber and lots of other healthy vitamins and nutrients.

I cut them up into little pieces and let the boys pick them up and eat them.  As you can see if the picture to the left, August really investigated his first piece of orange before eating it!

I also put these little pieces in their yogurt/cottage cheese lunch along with raspberries and blackberries.
