As you point out, it is *not* easy to get the clear pictures you might
want of an infant's hands. :-)

That said, I think i do see what you are getting at here, and Jeremy's
left hand does not look the same as his right. That said, Google can
point you towards images of this that are far more extreme looking (in
older kids and adullts). One typical thing you might also "see" here
is his thumb having three segments, but that would be tricky to see in
an infant hand without an X-ray.

It's probably different. Look here:
