- saying 'uh oh' - at first just when the little owl falls out of the tree in 'A Bit Lost' and after that, whenever anything falls down

A tender moment with papa.

A eye-poking moment with papa.

Leper Luca in the bath.  Sadly for public appearances, most of the impetigo was on his face.

Pauvre petit Luca malade.

Luca crocodile!

I say I use cloth nappies for environmental and cost reasons, but sometimes I think it's just because how cute is that.

Luca draws up a five year business plan.

Luca and papa watch the hockey.  You can tell from papa's face that the Canadiens lost.  You can tell from Luca's face that he has decided to follow Pittsburgh.

Luca face.

Sideways Luca.

Ah ma is comfortable.
