Sadly, we don’t remember what being a baby feels like, but watching babies today, we can certainly make an educated guess. As soon as they start recognizing the world around them, they want to see and touch everything and, if possible, shove it in their mouths. ‘Oral exploration’, as it is scientifically called, is a key developmental stage. Putting toys and other household objects in their mouth allows babies to discover the taste and texture of different objects. This adorably chubby little bundle is in his exploratory stage!

Licking it and biting in it very slowly, he understands that it tastes peculiar, yet quite refreshing. Then, the time comes for the ultimate taste test and our scientist shoves that wedge way inside his mouth. The reaction that comes after is just too much! Folds upon folds of baby fat resurface around that tiny little head and we are squealing with joy! He then looks at his mom, as if to say “what in the world is this thing, mom?", to which the mom, obviously an expert in her baby’s talk, gives him the truth. “It’s a <a href="https://rumble.com/v30irv-pickle-eating-a-pickle.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=54" target="_blank">pickle</a>!" It’ll grow on yah, big guy!
