Original Gerber Baby, 91, Meets Newest One, Who Has Down Syndrome

It was a heartwarming moment as the first Gerber baby met the newest one. Ann Turner Cook became the original Gerber baby in 1928 after a neighbor drew her picture. Decades later, Lucas won the Gerber photo search in 2017. The pair met when a Gerber representative told Ann's family Lucas was in the neighborhood. The meeting was captured in a photo showing Ann hugging the adorable little boy. InsideEdition.com's Keleigh Nealon (twitter.co.m/Ke...) has more. #InsideEdition

I'm so happy that the little boy was picked and don't get me wrong I think it's amazing that Ferber is shining the light on disabilities, but I do honestly believe that the company is only searching for praise for selecting him. If they knew they wouldn't get attention for it, they most likely wouldn't have picked him.
