Between stops on the 2012 Thaw Out Tour, Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus has had some time to spend with his too-cute-for-words 14-month-old daughter, Madeline. The scruffy dad tweeted this photo to fans on Thursday, causing a collective round of "Awww's" across social media networks.

"My heart," DeMarcus tweeted. Again ... "Awwwww." Last month, the bassist announced that he and his wife Allison were expecting baby number two this summer. If you're counting at home, that's going to make six kids -- five girls and one boy -- for the country trio.

The second-biggest arrival in DeMarcus' life will be the band's new album 'Changed' on April 3. Recently, they revealed the track listing for the project. "We mixed it up and did something a little different," Gary LeVox said. A deluxe edition featuring four bonus songs will also be available on the same day.
