The 2018 Gerber baby was named Wednesday morning on the Today show, and he is Lucas Warren, the first child with Down syndrome to receive the honour of, essentially, America’s cutest baby. His mother, Cortney Warren, entered Lucas in the 90-year-old contest when a relative mentioned that Gerber put out its annual call for adorable babies, she told Today. Warren posted a photo of Lucas sporting a polka-dot bow tie and an open-mouthed grin on Instagram and tagged Gerber. It was Lucas’s smile that won him the iconic contest, Bill Partyka, CEO and president of Gerber, told Today. “Every year, we choose the baby who best exemplifies Gerber’s long-standing heritage of recognizing that every baby is a Gerber baby,” Partyka said.
