Nearly-1-y-o refusing veg

DS2 is nearly 1. We did semi-BLW and for ages he would eat almost anything and LOVED vegetables. Now he's getting a lot more discrimiating about what he eats. Vegetables are chucked on the floor (except peas and sweetcorn), while he cries for more bread or pasta.

Should I be worried or just accept it as a passing phase? DS1 is 3.7 and quite fussy, and I'm hoping DS2 will carry on eating well as he gets older.

Any thoughts?

Keep offering the odd piece even if he throws them on the floor just in case he changes his mind, while still blending them into sauces, stews etc ... Does he eat any raw vegetables?

Raw courgette and cucumber. He hasn't got the teeth to manage carrot yet (raw carrot is one thing DS1 will eat). I worry about peas and sweetcorn that they pass straight through without providing any nutrients! I've been avoiding stews and sauces 'cos DS1 won't eat them, but DS2 scoffed the stew we had today, veg and all... Hmm.

how about grating the carrot instead? it wont need as much chomping then.
