When did you know whether your baby was left- or right-handed?

My daughter is only 8 months old, but she already shows a distinct preference for her left hand. Now that she's begun to feed herself small bits of finger food, she really favors the left hand even more. I've heard that hand preferences can change a few times during early childhood, so I was just wondering what your experiences have been. Obviously, it doesn't matter whether she's a lefty or righty - I'm just curious!

    It was pretty obvious that my son was righthanded as soon as he started doing anything dextrous at all.

    My daughter was still undecided right up until she was 3 or 4 - she painted equally with both hands for a long time. She's now right-handed, but like me she has no dominant eye.
