pudgy
Round and soft
Pudgy describes someone or something that is short and somewhat fat in a soft, rounded way.
The word often applies to children or body parts: pudgy fingers, pudgy cheeks, a pudgy toddler.
It carries a gentler, more affectionate connotation than words like fat or chubby—suggesting endearing plumpness rather than criticism.
