tag...you're it!

this day Pilar was in an extra silly mood. our old coffee table broke so it happened to be off to the side of our living room leaving a rather generous (for an apartment) open space that felt fresh and new, different, you know? well Pilar certainly noticed! we chased each other around, and she is starting to get the hang of running, and she loves it. of course I was IT the whole time, with her squealing and chasing me, but never catching me, but almost, and she loved it!

I finally brought out the camera to capture these silly moments and she knew exactly what was going on, she knows it's a camera, she knows that the images on the screen are her, and she loves to see them, so she actually poses now for the camera! it was really cute, it's the first time she had done this. I took a few, and she would run over giggling to see them, then she ran back to pose for a few more, then hopped back to see the next ones! when I ask her 'who's that'? she points to herself. amazing.

as well as learning to move faster than a speeding bullet (well faster than her stuffies) she is also trying desperately to jump up and down. this is hilarious! she doesn't actually do it, but she bends her knees rapidly, and it really looks like she is jumping, but isn't! the last time she went to the community center she saw this is what the 'cool' kids were doing in the bouncy castle, and she's been trying ever since. and sometimes this takes importance over everything else, like she might be walking to the elevator, but she stops suddenly, holds the wall, and tries jumping. it's just so cute.

she is also fascinated with blowing her nose, with a tissue, like a lady (grandma), but you know, can't quite do it. isn't the sweatshirt so cute? strawberry shortcake! thanks Mel!

o yeah, she's also still our little resident office lady, she LOVES my little voice recorder!
