Left-handed?

I'm starting to think Theo might be left-handed! A couple weeks ago I mentioned to Brandon that whenever we give him utensils at meals, he always picks it up with his left hand. Brandon thinks it's too early to tell. Then this last weekend when we went to my parent's house for the 4th of July, my mom was letting Theo feed the pond fish, and he always grabbed the food with his left hand, and my mom mentioned that she thinks he might be left-handed, too! So I looked it up online - it sounds like you can't know for sure until they are 2 or 3 because kids will usually continue to use both hands until that time, but that as early as 6-12 months you can usually start seeing them prefer one hand over the other.

I think there's a good chance, and I think it would be cool if he was left-handed! My dad is left-handed, but there is no one on Brandon's side that is, but it's possible he is!
