Hannah’s Big Hair
One day last week Katie left for a meeting or something and Hannah and Daddy had a great time playing with the special effects on the camera on my laptop. Hannah really got into moving her face around to get new and sillier images!
Hannah Singing "Big Bird Show" *VIDEO*
This is priceless. If you don’t already know, Hannah is a big fan of Sesame Street! Thanks to Uncle Joe for recording, spinning, and sending me this video.
Summer Sabbatical is Over *VIDEO*
OK our little summer sabbatical from the Gerber Family Blog is over. We promise to get back into the practice of updating regularly. I’ve compiled a slideshow video to show off the highlights of our summer. It’s big (2 minutes and 3.3MB) so it may take a little to load. It takes you through Katie’s “Crossing” event for graduating 6th graders, to zoo trips, to baseball games, to family vacations with both the Shuttleworths and the Gerbers, to Sesame Place theme park and ending up at the Indiana State Fair.
Hannah’s 2nd Birthday *VIDEO*
Sorry for the delay, but last week Hannah turned 2! In the morning we woke Hannah up with a candle topped cupcake. As you can seeshe went to town on the icing! Katie and I got her a Sesame Street MagnaDoodle. She loved it!
Hannah’s First Swim Lesson *VIDEO*
For Hannah’s birthday Uncle Joe and Aunt Helen got Hannah 7 weeks of swimming lessons at the YMCA. Yesterday was her first swimming lesson. Many people have asked, how exactly do they teach a 2 year old (close to it) how to swim. Well, for her first lesson she learned how to blow bubbles, kick (by mommy saying kick and moving her feet back and forth), jump in the water (by singing humpty dumpty sat on the wall), we threw little ducks and had to kick to go get them, we sang if your happy and you know it splash your hands, kick your feet, make it rain, and a few other swimming songs that we need to learn how to sing. In only a 1/2 hour we actually did a whole lot. Next week daddy gets to go in the water with her, mommy and daddy are going to alternate who gets to participate in the swimming lesson. Just wait until this summer and Hannah can show off her swimming skills.
Hannah’s Flower Girl Dress *VIDEO*
I was looking through the video tapes of the wedding and found this quick clip of Hannah in her dress and holding her flowers. I thought some of you might like to see her. Sorry, it’s really quick!
VloggingWeek #5 *VIDEO*
Pat had Good Friday off work and after pulling all sort of muscles helping a friend move into his first house, we decided to take Hannah to the Children’s Museum. Well, so did everyone else. It was pretty crowded, but we still had a good time. Here Hannah is dancing in front of the big TV in the Clifford (The Big Red Dog) exhibit. I think she gets her rythm from her mom! 
VloggingWeek #4 *VIDEO*
I’ve been running behind on posting these videos. I’ve already heard from several of you that you’ve enjoyed these videos this week. This video is Hannah deciding to get on Libby like she was riding her. Again, she just did this on her own.
VloggingWeek #3 *VIDEO*
Today’s video comes from when Katie asked Hannah if she wanted a tubby. She may still have few words, but she very cleary communicates!
VloggingWeek #2 *VIDEO*
Hannah started putting on a song and dance tonight. Here’s video number 2 for international video blogging week. If you listen closely, we think it was “Ring around the Rosie”.
