Our bodies produce vitamin D after the skin is exposed to sunshine. But ideally your baby won't be sunbathing at all in the first six months, so he won't get enough vitamin D from the sun â even if you live in a relatively sunny place, such as Florida.
Or they should, anyway. While leaves will always change color as the amount of sunlight wanes, several weather conditions can affect how brilliant they become. High heat or drought can rob leaves of their brilliance, or make leaves drop early. Insufficient rain in September can also hurt peak color.
The color we see when we look at leaves comes from cells called pigments. The green color we see every spring comes from the pigment called chlorophyll. Throughout the summer the pigments that give us fall colors such as orange, yellow, and brown are produced in the leaves, but they are hidden by the green chlorophyll.
