A few weeks ago we put my Mother-in-law in an Assisted Living home after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Upon going through her household belongings I came across this cute photo. Scribbled on the front were the initials DHS. With over sixty kids running around her house at any given time, (grandchildren and great grandchildren),I figured one of them had defaced the picture. Well, I was wrong. After doing some research I discovered that the picture was sketched by Dorothy Hope Smith and is a 1931 Lithograph of the original Gerber baby, who became the official trademark of Gerber in that same year.
Ann Turner Cook is the name of the baby in Dorothy's picture and I think Ann is just as cute today as she was then. (See Photo Below)
This posting is in honor of my Mother-in-Law, Johanna, who raised 12 Gerber Babies of her own. May God Bless her.

It would be nice to see a progression of photos of the G.B. through the years, as she grew up.
