And, (see, I knew I forgot something!!) he has recently become INCREDIBLY picky about what he will eat! Not that he "doesn't like" something, but if he wants something else, he will NOT eat what he has, in addition to screaming, grunting, and "please-ing" to try to convince us to give him what he wants. And by not eating, I mean "spit-it-out-will-not-even-chew" not eat it.
A few examples:
* He wouldn't eat his scrambled eggs because he wanted a muffin.
* He wouldn't eat his noodles because he wanted his cereal.
All of these things he will normally eat, unless of course something better beckons to him... So far, it's been a draw each time. We won't give him what he wants until he eats what he has, and he hasn't eaten anything we've wanted him to. We'll see where this goes... Last night he went to bed with no dinner because it escalated to a screaming fit, and I dangled from the end of my rope. Maybe I just have to learn to make sure there are no other food or possibly edibles in sight before I sit him down... :-)
Oh, and he definitely has a taste for carbs over protein... :-) This could be a problem...

I wish I could offer some advice but we have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!! (with Livvie!). M never did this consistently so I am throwing my hands in the air a bit. She's eaten her dinner in the bath a couple times or other scenarios but what you described is it. I think she might be even more picky than Isaac though...she will hardly eat any meats or veggies now (but ate them fine a few months ago). And she clamps her mouth shut or shoves it out with her tongue too! These kids! ;)
