AsAmNews continues our countdown of the five most popular stories of the year with a look back at number 2, Asian American Crowned Gerber Baby of the Year
 
They say there’s two things most people can’t resist, kids and animals.
 
That certainly was true for Baby Isla, Gerba’s Baby of the Year.
 
Isla was chosen from more than 170,000 entrants.
 
Our little story on her quickly went viral as Isla’s dimples proved to be irresistible.
 
Isla’s reign will soon be coming to an end as the one year old is about to pass off her crown to the next winning baby.
 
The next winner will walk away with $50,000. You can check out this year’s contestants here.
 
In the meantime, see Isla over the past year and watch her grow up.
 
Enjoy.
