Since before you were born we were calling you "Baby Girl!" How appropriate to have a sweet nickname for a sweet girl. After you arrived and after you were given the name: Allegra, we still referred to you as a Baby Girl for quite some time. Old habits die hard, I guess. Recently, there has been a shift. More people, more often - are calling you by your name: Allegra. It's been consistent enough that you are now recognizing your name. You may hear, "Allegra," and quickly turn your head or look up in response. It's pretty amazing! Your name means: Joy. In Spanish - the word: alegra means to bring happiness. In music, the term allegro is a lively, brisk tempo - from Italian meaning cheerful. In our house, Allegra (you) brings us joy and livens up our days. You make our home so happy! How appropriate, indeed!
Love, Mamá
