Musings and Observations

Righty?

We think we gave birth to a righty. David is grabbing things with his right hand and is crawling with more effort with his right arm versus his left. My husband Brian is not too pleased with this, and well, I have mixed feelings. See, both of his parents are lefties! We are starting to […]
