how to tell when dwarf navel oranges are ripe

Ocean Springs, MS

I have a dwarf navel orange tree which is now in it's second fruiting. The first time I only got 2 fruits. They were smaller than a golf ball when they turned fully orange. We ate them and they were great, but very small. Where they not fully ripened? Would they have gotten bigger if we waited? Now we have about a dozen more fruits some starting to turn, but again they are smaller than a golf ball. What should we do? We are in zone 8b.
