...sudden appearance of jowls, the impulse to make strange little grunting noises when you stand up, sit down or bend over hits everyone in different ways. For some, it may first occur when hoisting a bag of groceries; for others, it may happen when stooping to pick up a toddler or crouching to tie a shoe. Typically, the strange little grunting noises never sound like much--a weary uhhh as the weight of the body is raised or lowered. Sometimes the uhhh may be followed by a few expressive words, like a thoughtful hoo-boy or a quick...
...playground, in any nursery school, Brittany Abshire and West Redington would blend in perfectly with the other kids and the schoolyard clamor. Brittany, 2 1/2, is a chubby, mischievous chatterbox, and West, who turned one in August, is a grinning, inquisitive toddler who loves clambering up steps and the back of the sofa. As far as the world can see, there is nothing special about either of them.

...faithful lived up to their name. At Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee, there was the young mother in jeans, hair frosted blonde, a baby in her arms and a toddler in a stroller.

The Democratic imagery in Chicago veered between idealized Gerber babies (after his speech, President Clinton played peekaboo with brother Roger's cherubic toddler) and children besieged by a host of modern threats, from TV violence to tainted burgers to weary mothers holding down three jobs. Between the White House's proposals on teen smoking and Al Gore's oath to protect children from lighting up, the Clinton-Gore team seemed to be running...
Among apes there are few celebrities: Tarzan's pal Cheetah, Dian Fossey's friend Digit and, of course, King Kong. Now we can add a female to that list. BINTI JUA ("Daughter of Sunshine") was sitting in her enclosure at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo when a three-year-old toddler, in the uncontrolled exuberance common to his species, fell 18 ft. into the area, knocking himself out. Although his lack of fur showed he was not one of her brood, and Koola, her daughter, was clinging to her side, Binti gathered the boy gently in her arms and took...
