Meet Lucas Warren, a 1-year-old from Dalton, Georgia, who has become the first Gerber spokesbaby with Down syndrome.

His photo was chosen from among more than 140,000 entries to become the 2018 Gerber spokesbaby. His mom, Courtney Warren, said she entered the contest after a relative pointed out an ad asking for submissions, according to TODAY. She submitted a photo of her son using the contest’s hashtag, and the rest is history.
