She is no longer scrawny, and now has adorable little rolls on her thighs and arms. She even has tan lines from the rolls, causing her to ever-so-slightly resemble a baby zebra. Ellie also has very chubby cheeks. Her weight gain began with chunky cheeks, and her chubby little grin makes my day.

But cheeks aren't just for kissing!
Cheeks provide advertising for Graco. I only wish I had a photo. Ellie tends to nap in the stroller on longer runs. The other day, she cashed out completely with her head leaning forward. I stopped to gently put her head back numerous times, only to discover that Ellie is stubborn even as she sleeps. She woke up with the Graco logo emblazoned on her cheek.
Cheeks provide flotation in the pool.

Cheeks can make holding up your head difficult, due to extra weight.

But mostly, size XXL cheeks just win the affection of strangers.

And Mommy and Daddy feel the love, too.
