Several people have told us (as if we should be relieved to know this) that Natalie will lose some of her chub now that she's more mobile. To them I say (in the words of my daughter), "Pbttttttttttt!"
But, because I know that some day, far sooner than I'd like to think, I'll wake up to discover the fabulously edible, wonderfully squishy rolls replaced by a big kid body that doesn't stay still, I present to you my Tribute to the Chub:
We have both known for as long as we can remember that we wanted to have kids. We decided to start down the road to parenthood about three years ago, beginning with research. In May of 2004 we began inseminating, and in July, we hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy, and we endured a miscarriage, followed by months of medical treatment, monitoring, and frustration. We began trying to conceive again in May 2005 (against our doctor's advice). We were lucky to get pregnant again in July. Despite our fears and worries, this pregnancy went smoothly and ended with a wonderful home birth and a beautiful baby girl. A new chapter begins....

serious cuteness here. I am shocked that her skin isn't pink with all the squoooshes she must get.

Charles is envious because he has never had such an abundance.
He relucatantly relinquishes his squeezability status to naterpillar.

Beautiful! Seriously, babydom is the only time in life when it's perfectly acceptable to be fat, cranky, and perpetually naked.

Yeah, that's going to be gone before you know it.
And you are going to miss yourself the chubb!
(But lean five-year old energy-filled bodies are pretty darn amazing, too.)
