Gerber's 2018 spokesbaby will be making history in a wonderful way.

After a photo search that brought in more than 140,000 entries, the company chose 1-year-old Lucas Warren as its Gerber Baby.

Lucas is the first child with Down syndrome to win the title since the contest began over 90 years ago.

β€œWe’re hoping this will impact everyone β€” that it will shed a little bit of light on the special needs community and help more individuals with special needs be accepted and not limited,” said Jason Warren, Lucas' father.
