The investigators will address the hypothesis in the following Specific Aims: Specific Aim 1: Validate ultrasound as a method to measure whole body fat mass and fat-free mass in toddlers. Body composition will be assessed using ultrasound measurements and the validated method of air displacement plethysmography (ADP). Specific Aim 2: Determine the effect of a handheld Force-Measuring Ultrasound Probe on intra- and inter-observer variability in ultrasound measurements. A device which measures the force applied to the ultrasound probe will be used to obtain measurements of muscle and adipose tissue thickness (biceps, abdomen, and quadriceps) in toddlers.
