I'm a little bit confused about raising the index finger in tashahud. I know for sure it's sunnah, but how should I do it?

I know that the prophet (SAWS) urged us to supplicate with it . 1) Should I start supplicating with my index finger.. More

I am married and Alhamdulillah I have a son (1 year and a month old). Due lack of mosques here I am forced to pray my prayers at home with my wife, during the prayer my son usually comes in front of me or tries to cross me and so I pick him up, during my prayer and hold him with me till I finish reciting Al-fatiha etc., then I do Ruku with him before..

I would like to ask if it is a Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Salla Allaho Alaihi Wa Salam) to say Duaa' Alqunoot with the same rhythm and tajweed as he used to recite the Qur'an? If it is Sunnah, please provide the authentic Hadith that states so. If it is not, why do some Imams do that especially in Ramadan?
