Proud parents and extended families across Queanbeyan rose to the challenge, and after four weeks of voting and over 500 entries, a winner has been found in four-month-old Ivy Shoard.
Ivy's parents Kiah Barrett-Shoard and Tristin Shoard roped in friends and their large extended family to support their new bundle of joy, and were overjoyed to win.
"It's very exciting," mum Kiah said.
"We've kept the paper for her to show her when she's older."
Kiah described Ivy as a laid back baby who's won over not just her parents but her grandparents and many aunts and uncles as well, most of who voted for her.
"She's great. She eats well and sleeps well and is pretty laid back."
Ivy was born at Queanbeyan Hospital on March 28 and is a younger sister to the couple's three-year-old son, Cruz.
Local cuties Zahlia Jamie Lee Rapana Cross and Rocky Dal Molin came second and third respectively, with only four votes between them.
