Medford Baby Wins Gap Modeling Contest

A Medford baby has been chosen to become the new face of babyGap.

Fourteen-month old William, pictured at left, won a nation wide modeling contest for the clothing retailer. He was chosen out of thousands as a finalist by the company and was selected as one of four winners through online voting.

“William is just that classic baby. He has round cheeks that make you melt,” Gap spokeswoman Kimberly Terry told the Boston Herald. “You could tell he has a little bit of a silly personality.”

His parents, who both work at Massachusetts General Hospital, are excited for William, whose face began appearing in Gap window displays yesterday.

His mother Rebecca told the Herald she can’t wait to see William’s mug in the window.

“I want to go to all of them. ‘There you are. There you are again,’ ” she said.

According to information on the Gap’s contest website, William loves singing iconic rhymes like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “The Wheels on the Bus,” and he enjoys spending the day at Lake Quannapouwitt in Wakefield.

The tot won a $1,000 gift card to Gap and a trip to see “The Lion King” on Broadway.”
