Luca loves having his index finger curled up like in this picture! He often has some of the weirdest and most articulate hand gestures I've ever noticed in a baby! It has taken us ages to finally capture his fingure like this on film.

This series of shots took place over about 20 minutes! Luca loves bending backwards! I think he was really cramped the other way in the womb and he's making up for it now! He was fast asleep in these shots. Thanks Grampa for the arrangement here!

I think Luca had a bit of a cold overnight as he was a bit snuffly. He didn't sleep well and required a lot of comforting. It's tough because he's so cute and we love him so much that we never want to put him to bed . . . but we also want him to learn to sleep on his own. Generally Luca is a great sleeper and can handle armageddon next door without moving . . . except for the first time we try to put him to bed each night. He must just like being awake in those hours. I remember him kicking a lot in the womb when I was trying to go to bed.

During the day, we had an awesome visit from my friend Alisia and her super mobile 7 month old Samuelle. It's a glimps into the future! Ma went to the indoor running track at the McGill Sports Centre just down the road where she ran in circles and thoroughly over-heated.
