I just found this story, and it is awesome! This is totally how I imagine Jim and Pam to be as parents! :) I see you haven't updated in a while, I hope you do because I'll be really excited to read more about little Jill!

I know the horror of not seeing a child. I work at a day care center and am constantly counting heads. And just today, I was taking the kids outside, and one of them turned the corner before they were supposed to. My heart rate sped up to dangerous levels. I was terrified. He had been there a second ago, I look down to grab another childs hand, and then he was gone. Thankfully, I saw him the next second, and he got an earful about why that was so so wrong. But thats the part I connected with. Because that fright is constant with me. The blink and they are gone.

Jim swears that when she asks where babies come from, he's going to tell her that we found her in the woods.
I had absolutely no doubt this is how your baby Jill was going to turn into toddler Jill. A little wood nymph and a sprite with no fear. Really sweet moment for our little family in Baby Talk-ville, even though it's a little bittersweet for Pam. Nice.

This made me a little ferklempt - seeing yourself in your kids is a scary and awesome thing, and you really captured that here, as well as how mind blowing it is when you begin seeing all the ways they're not you. And I LOVED Jim's journal entry - perfect. This was a delish little amuse bouche for tonight's episode...not that they're about to reproduce, but at least we know it's somewhere on the horizon now. For realsies ;-)

I literally GASPED when I saw that you had updated this story! Great timing too because I had just been reading a couple of my favorite chapters from this story just yesterday. I love everything that you write, please don't ever stop (especially with this story) :)

Wow, a new chapter of this! I should tell you, I discovered it not that long ago and fell directly in love with the Halpert family as you've written them. This latest part was sweet, and not a little sad. I don't yet know what it's like to watch your children grow from babies into little people, but I feel like this gives me a good sense of what it would be like. Great job, and I hope you just keep on updating this whenever you're inspired.

I love your stories! Especially this one. Coincidentally, I have been listening to that song almost non-stop since 2 days ago so I think I squealed a bit when I started reading this chapter lol.
