GRRR BABY

The boys are constantly making noise. Now that they have a little sister, a lot of that noise is directed towards her. Usually they're trying to make her happy, but it's not always the case, as it typical with little boys...

But we realized recently that when the boys would growl at her (and we of course would scold them), she would respond by growling back, with a big smile! So now, over and over, we will growl at her, and she'll growl back. It's way too cute - especially since her growl includes that adorable scrunched-up nose face.

OBJECT ASSOCIATION

Allegra's one smart cookie. (Obviously, right?) She's figured out that when she grabs a pen, it needs to go to paper. When she has a tissue, it goes to her (or our) nose. Pretty good for a 10 month old to already be figuring out what goes to what. I bet she also knows that brothers = trouble...

TOOTHY

Well Allegra's double trouble now that's he's got 2 teeth on the top to match the 2 on the bottom. There are these 4 bright white chiclets sticking out of her mouth everytime she smiles - and with this baby, that's a lot. Have I mentioned how darned cute she is??
