GUESS WHO RULES THE ROOST - MADISON DOES

Just got back to the coach, we have been at Miss Madison's house all day or at least since 10am this morning. This little Missy is very demanding of all the attention, she doesn't ask for it... not at all... it's just she is such a little thing and she seems to know that someone or everyone will be watching over her 24 hours a day. Her mommy and daddy try and get some sleep when she is sleeping but that isn't working too well right now. She is more then happy to let her parents sleep while Grandma and Grandpa Alton are there, because she knows we will not take our eyes off of her, but Kim and Danny haven't learned yet to take full advantage of the time yet, oh, but they will.

Kim and Danny are doing well, just very tired, we went over this morning and made them breakfast and I fixed dinner for them too. Danny made a comment that if I wasn't fixing them food that they probably wouldn't eat. This afternoon David, Jodi, and Riley came up to see Miss Madison and then David got some great pictures of her. I'll tell you what, this little girl is a ham for the camera. Every time Kim or Danny change her diaper she cries, boy, for the photo shoot they laid her down completely naked and she was wide eyed and almost posing for the camera, too funny. As soon as David down loads them to his website I'll post the address and you all can see the pictures. Lets see, she likes to be naked and poses for the camera, I hope this doesn't mean something for what she will be doing in the future. :)

It was nice to get everyone home from the hospital yesterday, not only did Danny move into the hospital with Kim and little Missy, but Dave and I kind of feel like we did too. You know normally if you are visiting anyone in the hospital you want to get out of there as soon as possible but not this time, it was never a dull moment watching little Missy and helping Kim try and breast feed. I know for Dave it wasn't any fun because he had to stay behind the curtain at feeding time and believe me the feeding times lasted up to 2 hours at some times. We would go early in the morning and not come home till late at night. We did get to sneak away in the late afternoon and relax a little, feed the dogs, then back to the hospital, but it was well worth it.


We went back to Miss Madison's at 6pm to fix dinner for the adults, but it was her feeding time again, so Grandma and Grandpa ended up eating by themselves. We stayed for a little bit then headed back to the coach, Kim and Danny would eat later they said. When we got back to the coach the air conditioner had gone out again. We ended up just staying in the living room until late, opened up the windows and turned the fan on in the bedroom and it managed to cool down enough so you could sleep in there. Valley stayed in the living room in the air conditioned room, smart dog.

That's about it for now, tired, tomorrow we will go over early in the morning and fix breakfast, and try and let mommy and daddy get some sleep.

Oh my gosh Miss Madison is ridiculously cute! The pic of her in the car seat helps you see just how tiny she is. I can't wait to hold her. I love reading about how tired Kim & Danny are. Boy, do I remember those days! I tried warning them, but you never fully grasp how hard it is until you do it yourself. I'm glad Grandma and Grandpa are there to help. The new parents will definitely need your help and Miss Madison will love having you there too!

Saw the new pics David Jr. took. Boy, is Madison TINY! I thought Inara was small when she was born, but Madison is even smaller. Too bad David didn't use a different background though because it's hard to see how much hair she has in some of the pics. We showed them to my mom and Lisa yesterday too, so the whole fam saw them. Thanks for sending the link.
