There are many ways to distract babies when they are upset. One thing we have figured out is that Eli is a total camera ham. Whenever he's doing something cute and we try to take a picture of it, he just stops and smiles at the camera. So, Mom tried getting the camera out when he was upset. This is the result.

Grandparents are also a good distraction. We're having a super fun week, with Mom's parents here over the weekend and Dad's visiting for the week.

Grandparents with lollipops are especially distracting. Excuse the extreme chub (on Eli), he's been eating quite a lot lately... as in the his normal amount from bottles plus about 8 oz of solid food per day.

Eli is now 6 months old! But his 6 month pictures will be coming in a few days. Also, his 6 month check-up and weigh-in will be next week.
