I've known since she was about 4 minutes old that Mila has a sense of humor that is bigger than she is. While she currently is on the small side for her age (literally a "Tiny Human"), she started out at 9 lbs 6 ozs, so that's saying something.
She thinks she's funny.
She's right, frankly.
Every day that passes she gets a little better at showing off her funny. She's gaining the ability to set up a joke and everything. She has spent 2 1/2 years setting up the one she played this past weekend. For 2 1/2 years, the child has done everything in her power to keep me from taking photos of her. She looks the other way, just plain refuses, and generally acts a fool when I'm holding a camera.
For what it's worth, Alexis can walk up to Mila and say, "Let's take a selfie!" and Mila will grin and look straight into that phone. I just roll my eyes because WHATEVER I DIDN'T WANT A PHOTO ANYWAY. GAH.
Ahem.
That's a big part of why I was so happy when Miss Mila played along for her rose photos last week. There was a lot of trickery with sword/rose fights and such, but the fact that she sort of looked towards the camera was essentially a miracle.
A cute miracle.
And yet, when Mila turned to me on Sunday and said, "Me, too!" I thought maybe she was serious. I was holding my camera and prepping to take a photo of the pasta e fagioli and the small child was literally running to my setup and trying to insert herself into the photos.
Which, okay!
This. This is what she did.
She stood like that long enough to make sure I got the photo and then ran away, laughing her little butt off.
"I took a funny picture!"
Yeah. She did. The little prankster.
