Mommy's back!

I don't know if the 3-day was hard on Maddox or he's just getting more attached to me, but if I'm no where to be seen all you hear is, "mama, mama, mama". Daddy's a close second.
10 month check-up! Well, it was suppose to be 9 months, but this was when we could get in. Maddox is offically weighing in at 27 lbs 6 ounces, which means he hasn't gained anything in over a month. My chubby baby is slimming down. He's still slightly off the charts, but we're almost there. His head finally made it back to the 98th percentile at 19 inches and his height is steady at 75th percentile at 29 inches
Maddox's language skills are developing like crazy. If you ask him what a sheep says, he says "Bah". He is starting to say "Moo" when you ask him what a cow says. He picks up any phone (sometimes a block or whatever) holds it up to his ear and says "Hi!" He now likes to say "Uh, oh". He's making the sign for milk whenever he wants to nurse and is starting to understand the sign for diaper change.
He's not walking yet, but he still likes to let go and stand on his own for 10-15 seconds. He almost took his first step alone last night (9/2/07). He gets too excited though and starts to giggle and loose his balance.
Maddox and Rowan are quite the buds now. They wrestle around and giggle all day long. They love to give each other snuggles!
All clean!
"I'm going to be a drummer!"

Yes, Maddox is still loving the blueberries. We usually only give them before bath time. They're a little messy.
"Delicious!"
"Here Mama. Do you want some?"

60 miles DONE!

We did it! The DuBar Dolls headed out Friday morning EARLY to begin the 60 mile journey for the Breast Cancer 3-day. Maddox had to get up with Mommy at 5am! He was a trooper though. He was great for Corey all weekend. I even got to spend Friday night at the camp. Saturday night I did come home to sleep because I missed Maddox a lot! Here we are getting ready to head out on the open road. Maddox and Corey joined the rest of our families at the cheering stations to cheer us on as we passed. Maddox was handing out high fives left and right.

Qwest even had a cheering sections, so Jane, Corey, Mindi, Steve, and Maddox put on their pink and cheered away.
Hangin' out with Daddy. Maddox did great over the weekend taking lots of bottles and eating pretty well. Corey did an AMAZING job taking such great care of Maddox. THANK YOU SO MUCH HONEY! You're the best husband a girl could ask for!
Mindi practicing her mommy skills! January is just around the corner when she'll put those new found skills to use. I can't wait to meet your little one!
The finish line! We all made it blisters and all. We walked every step of the 60 miles.I couldn't wait to get my hands on Maddox and I don't think he wanted to let go of me. If I tried to give him to someone else, he would cling on for dear life.


These feet were made for walkin' - Well, maybe. My pinkie toes were in rough shape. They were white and blistered over after the walk.
Here's what they look like today.

I wouldn't trade this whole experience for anything! It was absolutely amazing! The 3-day makes you believe that if you try you can conquer the world one step at a time and walking it with the most wonderful women in the world sure helped too. Mom, I plan on walking this with you until we're old and gray, so 2008 here I come!!!
