The only real sad thing that happened to Beck lately is that he fell and tore his Frenula (a membrane connecting the inside of each lip to the corresponding gum). The interesting thing is that the week before he tore it, we took the kids to the dentist. The dentist checked out Beckham's gums to make sure that he did not sustain any permanent damage while he was intubated in the hospital. Beck's gums looked great, but the dentist noticed that Beck had a very large Frenula and he told me that he would most likely tare it by injury. Sure enough, a week later Beckham tore it. It bled quite a bit and was pretty painful for him. On the bright side, at least they will not have to clip it when he gets older.
I thought that this might be fun. Here is a couple of fun reasons why Gwen & Beckham are truly our children:
1. Beck recently had his nine month check-up and here are his stats - 90% for height, 10% for weight and 75% for head. Just like his daddy (tall, skinny, and with a big head - well the big head was when he was a baby)!
2. For those that read this blog and don't know me that well probably don't know that I have a little obsession with Michael Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I think that he is pretty weird dude, but man do I love his music and dance moves. The other day Gwen was being picky about which DVD she wanted to to watch. I decided to try something new and put on my Michael Jackson DVD. Below is a picture of the way Gwen remained during the entire DVD. Yeah...definitely my child!

3. Nate is a huge soccer fan (if you could not already tell by our son Beckham's name) and he has recently been teaching Gwen how to kick a ball. Gwen was practicing kicking with my large yoga ball last week and she walked up to Beckham and kicked the ball as hard as she could, exclaiming "catch" as she did so. The ball hit Beck right in the face and re-injured his torn frenula, resulting in another bloody lip. Gwen is taking right after her daddy and is a kicker!
4. I was feeding Beckham breakfast the other day and all of the sudden I noticed that he was falling asleep while eating. I quickly grabbed my camera and recorded it. So cute! He is just like me...I can fall asleep anywhere and I sleep like a rock.
That's it for an update from our house...wait...speaking of house, we are soon going to be putting our townhouse on the market. If anyone (those that live in Iowa that is) know of anyone who is interested in a cute little place PLEASE let me know. The best part about our home is that it has a two car garage. Yeah!! Trust me, you want a garage when you live in Iowa and the temp gets to -30.
Have a great week!
Kim, Nate, Gwen & Beck

Oh Oh Oh!! Are you moving to Utah???
That video rocked. I love MJ. I can apprecaite his music and moves and not the person himself right? I'll have to remember when Gwen is over next and we can all jam to a little MJ :D!
So are you guys moving soon? You should have some one put your house up on DMU's site.
LOL. The video of Beck is priceless. He is definately a willard, tall, skinny and big head. I still think he is a miny wayne though.
What? You like Michael Jackson? Hmmm. Good luck on selling your house. I'll send over some quick selling vibes from us:) I still can't believe how quick we sold ours.
Kim if you want us to post your town house on the DMU site we are more than happy to do that. Sad to hear you are moving? Where to? Can't believe how big these little boys are. Isaac is finally mastering crawling, and hopefully will hold off on climbing for awhile (I hope). Beck is too cute asleep in his chair!
where are you moving too???
I especially like how Beckham goes to put in the pacifier upside down, and then so naturally turns it the right way.
Loved that video clip! What a cutie :)
That's so funny about Gwen just "chillin" to watch MJ and about Beck falling asleep while eating! Your house is really cute. Good luck with selling!
