Everyone always told me that Cael was a tubster - I can't imagine what they think of Finn. Cael's check-ups always found him in the lower percentiles (even as low as 10th in weight) and he got heckled for being a future football player.

For Skip!
A photo of Cael and the belly. Yes, I know my head is cut off. Turns out Cael's not incredibly patient with me figuring out the placement and timing of the camera and my arm's not long enough for the self-clicked portrait. You should see the rejects =)
