YES! Hen loves grapefruit, limes and lemons.  We always give him our lemons in restaurants and he goes to town!

And I thought my son was just weird. Good to know he isn't the only lemon lover out there!

I had heard something about waiting to introduce citrus, but like PP, I have no idea why.

I just googled it. Heres what I found:

It says to wait because of rashes it can cause, allergies and acidity

Yesterday our local coffeeshop had a little benefit concert for the local homeless warming station. Liam almost polished off a small fruit plate on his own. Apple slices, orange slices, pineapple chunks, and vanilla yogurt to dip it in :-)
