ok so who else is dealing/has dealt with this?
DS used to be a great eater, up until about 2 months ago when he turned picky. Not a huge deal, exasperating but I know it happens. However, since about 12 months he has developed a dislike for anything "mushy" or creamy... i.e. cream cheese, ice cream, sauces (ketchup, dip etc.), even if it is ON something like cream cheese on a bagel, he won't even touch it.
I'm hoping this is just a phase too, although it's going on the better part of a year now, and I'm curious if anyone else has a LO who won't touch/taste stuff like this? I could handle him being picky more if there were more things he was willing to eat 
FWIW he also has a peanut allergy, so no PB on anything either :-(
Any advice or similar stories would be greatly appreciated!

Re: ok so who else is dealing/has dealt with this?
DD is the same way about dipping things and having things on her food. She used to love ketchup; now, she dips something in ketchup and then says "Here ya go mommy". She won't eat cream cheese or hummus on anything but a spoon. In the long run I'm not too concern, she eats everything at daycare (no outside food allowed, they provide meals) and loves fruits and veggies. I find it weird she hates sandwiches too... no pb&j, no turkey and cheese, etc.; but she WILL eat bread, turkey and cheese seperately, or if it's a grilled sandwich.
I can't really help you out, not sure if it's just a phase, but try not to let it get to you as long as LO eats and grows. Keep trying new things and reintroducing foods. DD will ask for and eat a whole avocado a day for a month and then say "yucky" for a week before wanting it again.
