The baby loves strawberries, as well as other soft fruits such as melons, pineapple, etc. He is also getting better at self-feeding - and has 8 teeth - so we started giving him chunks of fruit or whole strawberries so he could hold them himself, bite bits off and eat them. He was very pleased with this as he feels all important and grown up. However, he has now decided to exert his authority over these rebel fruits and he has no mercy. He holds a fruit - strawberries for preference - in his fist and then grips it very hard, while red juice drips down his arm and the berry itself is reduced to a sort of pulp that looks unpleasantly like some sort of crushed internal organ. He then opens his fist, inspects the berry for any last remaining act of defiance and grins when it just lies there, gasping its last breath. Then he shoves it in his mouth, chews rapidly and holds out his red-stained hand for another one.
