my 5 month and 3 days old boy is using only left hand for reaching objects in the air and use both hands when the object is placed on belly..also his right hand reach is not as far as the left hand goes, is it normal or something to worry? he puts both hands in his mouth..and he can roll over from left and right sides..only from back to belly..
