There’s officially a new Gerber baby on the scene!: 1-year-old Akil “Sonny” McLeod from Arizona.A panel of judges ― which for the first time ever included the parents of previous winners ― selected Sonny from the pool of tens of thousands of submissions of babies up to 2 years old.“The adorable submission photo of Sonny featured his smiling face and a fitting sunshine mobile hanging in the background,” Angela Madlangbayan, vice president of marketing at Gerber, told HuffPost.
“When we had Sonny, everyone kept telling us he looked like a Gerber Baby, which inspired us to apply!” his mother, Dominque McLeod, told HuffPost. “We are still in shock! We believed Sonny could win, of course, but the experiences that have followed since we found out have been amazing.”Sonny traveled to New York with his parents and sister Sage for the Gerber Baby contest winner announcement.
“Sonny has a smile and unique presence that should be shared,” his father Akil McLeod said. “He lights up every room he enters! I think it’s important to share love and positivity, and our family feels the importance of that every day with Sonny. If even just one person’s day is made better by seeing our sweet Sonny, that’s something worth celebrating.”
