The first bit of news is that I think Connor is left handed.

The second bit is that this is why:

As of lunchtime yesterday, Connor refuses to let either Shannon or I feed him. Up until dinnertime Sunday night, it was the only way he ate. I’ve never seen him take this much initiative eating himself. I’ve held his hand around the spoon a few times, but all of a sudden, with no warning, he stopped letting us spoon-feed him and insisted that he feed himself, out of nowhere. I kind of wonder how long he’s been doing this at daycare (I’ll ask tomorrow), but this is really impressive.

I’m reminded over and over again lately that he’s not really a baby anymore. He’s more and more a fully-functioning little kid. He’s not really talking yet (just a lot of ‘yeahs’ and ‘nos’ in response to nothing in particular) but man, he’s getting big.
