Oh my cuteness!
After more than 180,000 parents entered their child in the “Gerber Be Our Baby” photo search, the company announced Grace from East Petersburg, Pa., is the clear winner.
The 7-month-old beauty made her debut on the Today show Wednesday morning where she easily won over the hearts of Hoda Kotb and Billy Bush.
“We’re just so thankful,” Grace’s mother, Gabrielle, told the co-hosts. “We have the potential to be on a Gerber ad!”
That’s just the beginning of what the family will receive in the coming months. Grace and her parents will receive a $ 50,000 cash prize as well as a year supply of Gerber baby food.

“At Gerber, we are passionate about our annual Photo Search and recognize that every baby entered is a Gerber baby,” the company said in a statement. “While many of the entry photos this year met our criteria, Grace’s captivating charm stole the judges’ hearts. The Gerber Photo Search is celebrating its fifth year with this sweet new face!”
The winning photo features Grace posing naked on a bed as she rests her hands under her chin.
And while she may have only been a few months old, the adorable little one managed to flash an irresistible smile for the camera.
“The photo that won was taken only five photos from when I started taking pictures of her that day,” Gabrielle said. “She must have taken her hands out of her mouth and posed them like that for a split second because I didn’t even realize how cute she was posing until after I was completely done taking pictures and looking back at what I had just taken!”
Don’t think we need a recount or a revote on this contest! Congratulations baby Grace! You deserve it.
