Welcome to picky: Not unusual behavior for 18 month old to be fussy or picky eater. At least he likes fruits. As you have discovered you can't force him to eat what he doesn't want. Offer him other things with things you know he likes. Play games with him, don't force, don't get angry, it will backfire on you. He will be fine. Give him a multivitamin.
