2021 Gerber Baby

What a cutie❤

NY Post

This giggly, 4½-month-old miracle child is the newest face of Gerber.

On Monday, Gerber announced the winner of its 11th annual photo search, crowning Zane Kahin of Winter Park, Florida, as its 2021 Gerber “spokesbaby.”

Zane was selected for his “cheerful attitude, infectious giggles and playful smile that can light up any room.” He’ll also serve in the honorary roles of “chief growing officer” and “chief taste tester” for the year.

In reward for beating out more than 90,000 parents who entered their babies in this year’s Gerber baby contest, Zane’s parents, Erin and Mike, won a $25,000 cash prize, free Gerber products for one year and a wardrobe valued at $1,000, provided by Gerber Childrenswear. Gerber will also offer a bodysuit and T-shirt inspired by Zane and will make a product donation of equal value to the charity Delivering Good for every purchase.

This news came as a surprise to Erin and Mike, who weren’t even sure if Erin could conceive naturally after undergoing treatment for breast cancer at 27. After having a double mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation, Erin could not anticipate how her treatment would affect her chances of being a mom.

Yet Zane beat the odds and was conceived with no intervention — and has an “infectious” smile and laugh, according to his mom.

“Zane is our little comedian — he loves to crack himself up and even wakes up laughing,” Erin told NBC’s “Today” show.

The original Gerber baby in the brand’s iconic logo was Ann Turner Cook, now 94. She became the face of Gerber products after a family friend, Dorothy Hope Smith, submitted a charcoal portrait of her to a Gerber contest in 1928.

I'm sure all of the little babes were beautiful and charmingly sweet, but this guy certainly appears to have been an excellent selection as the winner.

The family's story warms the heart. They truly received a gift, after serious trials. This is one happy, beautiful baby boy. I wish them an abundance of joy and love.

He is sooo adorable! Zane must be a popular name this year for babies. My friend's grandson, born in March is also Zayne.

(named after a popular singer she said) I also heard of a little baby girl born this February named Zane. I didn't think I liked this name but it grew on me.

@Greeneyedlady21 He's a beautiful baby with a big personality. On Hoda and Jena yesterday they interviewed his parents, told them he was the 2021 winner and awarded them $25k and other prizes. He was just so adorable on TV.
