LAUGHTER

When Kristen changes Allegra's poopy diapers, she sings a little diddy that goes something like, "Gotta change your poopy britches, Allegra's got poopy britches!" at which point Allegra starts giggling and laughing. While I've had my own successes in making her smile and laugh a biot, I haven't seen the full-on laugh/giggle, so I'll have to take her word for it. But I hear it's the cutest thing ever.

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!

Knock us over with a feather - we had just decided there was no way around the fact that we'd have all boys. But about a week ago Kristen had a long Ultrasound, and they proclaimed with 99.99% surety that this was indeed going to be a little lady Santilli. It'll be a whole new experience for us, that is for certain. If she doesn't start out a tough little cookie, with brothers like Blane and Tobin, she'll definitely end up as one!
