Rainbow

I met a sweet baby at the market this weekend whose nose was extremely orange. It was complimented by his lovely bright orange shirt. His mother explained that the foods he likes best are all foods high in beta carotene: carrots, squash, sweet potatoes.

Orange noses are pretty common in infants, and not cause for alarm. That said, it's not a bad idea to get some other colors into your baby's diet. My little orange-nosed friend went home with a tray of broccoli, pea sprouts, beet greens, green beans, and asparagus. Maybe he'll come back next week with a green nose, and wearing a green shirt!

We made another small acquaintance who had just discovered his love of beets. No sign of the beets on his face yet.
