Annada Marie Vergo

Annada has recently become my mirror. It is pretty amazing how many little things throughout the day she notices. For example,

– She has started brushing her baby doll’s teeth.

– She gives her baby doll kisses.

– When she puts her baby doll to bed, she pats her on the back before leaving (and I thought Annada was asleep when I left).

– She “talks” on my cell phone – even holding it on her shoulder like I do.

– After the colds in Denver, she will go get toilet paper then walk around sniffing into the tissue.

– She likes to take my pen and “write” in my journal.

– I have been singing and doing the hand signs to common songs for a long time. I didn’t really think she cared because she wouldn’t do the signs with me. Meme gave her a singing book for her birthday and she sits on the floor doing the hand signs to the songs!

– Last weekend Annada and I got the stomach flu. At one point Marc was watching Annada for me and I (very dramatically, I admit) laid on the floor and moaned. I few minutes later I had to laugh when Annada copied me exactly! (She is still kind of sick – and has lost over a pound. Would you pray for her drink more and hold down food? Her doc – who is the BEST – thinks she got sick enough to make her e. cells flair which makes her sick which makes her e. cells flair… Not serious, but she is getting dehydrated which needs to turn around soon.)

– Annada has learned to nod yes or no. Sometimes when she says (or nods) no, I nod yes and ask her again. It seems to work. Annada must have noticed it working because she has started using the same trick with me! And at the doc’s today she used it so seriously with Dr. Nielsen that the good doc had to lean over she was laughing so hard! (She purses her lips and her eyebrows go way up and down – she’s hysterically serious.)

– Annada has this new dance in which she sways her hips side-to-side. It’s funky. And yes, you guessed it – I caught myself doing it when I cook :).
