I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Gerber Baby. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Having a baby in tow makes any errand take longer. Of course, it slows me down when I have to stop to feed him or hand him a toy to play with, but the thing that really makes trips take longer is having to stop to talk to everyone in the store!
Since Zac’s been around I haven’t been able to run a single errand without having to stop so that someone {usually Grandmothers or young kids} can talk to him, ask his name or age, or just smile sweetly and compliment his big ol’ chubby cheeks. {But can you blame them?}
While it may mean I have to budget a few extra minutes at the store, I have to say that it always makes my day when someone takes a moment out of their day to compliment my baby. I think he’s pretty darn adorable, too- and since Shane seems to have grown up in the blink of an eye, I know that I won’t have a baby for much longer and am definitely soaking in every minute of it.
If I had a nickel for every time someone said that Zac was a “Gerber Baby”, I’d have… like $4.00. Which I know doesn’t sound like a lot, but if Gerber agreed, Zac could win $50,000! Gerber is hosting a “Be Our Baby” Photo Search right now where they are giving away the Grand Prize of $50,000, one year of Gerber food, and the chance for your child to star in a future advertisement for Gerber as the 2014 spokesbaby! Six additional winners- one in each Milestone category {which includes Birth+, Supported Sitter, Sitter, Crawler, Toddler, and Toddler 2+}- will also win $5,000!
While the Gerber panel of judges will choose the Grand Prize winner, the six Milestone winners will be chosen based on the who has the highest number of votes. Voting begins on November 17th and runs through December 14th- so hurry, because if you want to enter your baby you have to submit by November 12th! Any baby or child under 48 months old may be entered to win, but only recent photos taken no more than 30 days before submission will be accepted.
As for the Grand Prize winner, the Gerber panel of judges will choose one baby based on the visual appeal of the child in the photo, the expressiveness of the child in the photo, and the consistency with Gerber’s heritage and mission. {I would hate to have their job, because it must be so hard choosing the cutest baby! At the same time, their job consists of looking at pictures of cute babies, so it can’t be all bad.}
Remember, you only have until November 12th to enter your baby to win, so be sure to upload your photo today! {You can enter your baby here: Gerber.com/Photosearch.} If you enter your baby and they win the grand prize, I know someone who would really love it if you’d share your year supply of yogurt melts and pouches!
Do you know a baby who should enter the “Be Our Baby” photo search?

You should definitely enter Shane. I can see him being a Gerber Baby. I love his cheeks, they remind me of my son when he was the same age. 🙂

Gah, he’s just so cute! I probably shouldn’t check out all of the babies entering because I’d be drooling over them. Good luck, Gerber babies!
