HICKORY, N.C. - A North Carolina baby has been named the 2019 Gerber "Spokesbaby," the company announced on Tuesday.

Gerber announced that Kairi Yang, 1, of Hickory, was chosen among a record-breaking 544,000 entries.

Kairi "intrigued the judging panel with her delicate expression and the look of wonder in her eyes," the company said.
