Cute baby picture of the day

Neither Russell nor Silas like it when I take their picture these days, so when I want to take a picture I have to do it while they're doing something and don't notice me setting it up. And then I have to bellow "Russell! Look over here!" and try to catch him at the precise moment he looks, for otherwise he'll stick out his tongue and otherwise look silly.

The picture was lensbabied, then cropped closely enough so there's just a little bit of distortion around the edges of the frame. (The lensbaby is a terrific lens for portraits, because the blurring around the edges of the picture pulls your eyes right over to the subject of the photo, and if you crop it closely you won't even realize that the sneaky lens is pushing your eyeballs to the interesting parts of the photo.)
