When playtime ends

"Whew, playing on the floor can be hard work!"

"OK dad, it's time to put the camera down."

"Seriously, if you don't pick me up in about two seconds you're going to regret it."

You may get the impression from the photos on this site that Madeline is all smiles and sunshine. She's mostly a pretty happy baby, which we're very thankful for, but there are times when she'll let you know when things aren't to her liking.

Try taking away the toy she's playing with, or putting her down when she wants to be held, or leaving her alone for two seconds - well, you might want to reconsider.
