A Picky Eater?

Can RTR already be a picky eater? He's only six months old but already showing some pickiness when it comes to eating solid food. In the two weeks since we started with rice cereal, he hasn't really eaten very much. If memory serves, CSR took to solid food very well and he's still a pretty good eater... he will "sneak" broccoli from the cutting board, but he often asks for pizza for dinner. Tonight he said pizza, lasagna and spaghetti are his favorite foods. That's funny because I thought it was candy. Anyway, I digress. In an attempt to feed my second-born, I broke out something different-- winter squash! I was so hopeful when RTR took the first couple of bites. But it soon faded and he quickly became more interested in a plastic lid than anything being offered on a spoon. A good friend of mine said it's part of "Second Child Syndrome." I did not know it had a formal name. Apparently, whatever came easy with the first born, the second born child makes up for it by being difficult. This could also explain why RTR isn't as advanced on his sitting up skills. If he became good at sitting up by himself, who would sit by him and hand him toys and stuff. I would probably be more apt to set him down and then go do a load of laundry. This may also be why CSR can't find any clean socks. Note to self: put socks on CSR's Christmas list.
