Or maybe just the thought of absence, in Maddie's case! This is a SMILE on Maddie's face when she got to hang out with Uncle Ryan a couple weekends ago. Now that he's in Vienna, she'll have to settle for skyping him until he's back from being a big shot football player. 
Maddie knows that in these tough financial times, it's vital to have a sound understanding of your personal fiscal situation to create a solid financial path to retirement. That's why she works with Phil at ING. Now she can sleep soundly...and that makes for three people in this house getting more shut eye! :) Thanks, Phil!
Above shows Dad feeding Maddie her first meal sans Mom. Well, I guess I was the photographer, so I'm still needed for something.
I think this is a happy face. Either way, she was eager to have her second and third meal, so hopefully we'll have a little chubbo on our hands. Things are getting really fun.
Maddie is now 5 and a half months old and starting to do a number of cool things. One of our favorites is the "Scrunchy Faced Smile." We think she gets this from her mother and it's basically the cutest thing you've ever seen. The only down side to it is that it is remarkably similar to her cry face, and in fact it can go from "Scrunchy Faced Smile" to "Banshee Wail" in less than 1.7 seconds.
