Zoe, Chestburster
When we saw Zoe, the way her onesie bunched up looked like she had an alien trying to escape from her chest.
When I was a kid, our cousin taught us a trick where you wear a long-sleeved shirt and take one of your arms out of the sleeve and hold it bent across your chest with the elbow in the middle. Hold the cuff of the empty sleeve with your other hand so it looks like your hands are clasped. Then, in the middle of a conversation, start making gagging noises and thrust your elbow out violently. If your audience has seen Alien it's very effective.

That toddler looks appropriately horrified.

Consider that a trick that will be taught to the kid when she's old enough.
We'll have all the kids watch "Alien" on a sleepover. Good children's movie.
