The newest Gerber Baby and the original Gerber Baby just met in real life and posed for an adorable photo that’s gone viral.
One-year-old Lucas Warren beat out 140,000 other babies to win the Gerber Baby Photo Search earlier this year, becoming the first child with Down syndrome to be chosen for the title in the contest’s 91-year history.
91-year-old Ann Turner Cook became the face of Gerber brand products in 1928 after a family friend submitted a charcoal sketch of her to the company for a contest.
Her image became so synonymous with the brand, Gerber trademarked the drawing of Cook in 1931. Her identity, however, wasn’t revealed until the company’s 50thanniversary in 1978.
When Warren and Cook met, Warren’s parents said the pair connected instantly.
