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 slightest changes in weather in September - too warm, too cold, too wet, too dry - can slow color change or cause trees to drop leaves before they change color. Because it is too dry to produce the vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges, a severe summer drought will create a landscape filled with the subtler colors of tans, bronzes and auburns.
