The five-month-old already has two dozen trophies to his credit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

PALMDALE \u2013 Born with a unique look, Charles Peter Ross III<\/b> is starting out life with a bang.<\/p>\n

With a total of 24 trophies, 10 medals, two sashes, two picture plaques, and one crown, this five-month-old Palmdale resident has what it takes to show the world he\u2019s one of a kind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI noticed his unique look when I had him in the hospital,\u201d said mother Meon Ross. \u201cI asked the nurse what the stuff all over his head was, and she said it was red hair!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles holds the title of Mr. Infant Supreme for California Tropic, as well as supreme titles with Gold Coast, and plans on competing in the Tri-State Nationals in April, 2013.<\/p>\n

Ross says Charles does a great job on stage, as babies tend to go first in the pageants. This gives his mother a chance to show him off with minimal fussing.<\/p>\n

\"Mom,<\/a>

\u201cI\u2019m a very hands-on mom,\u201d stated Ross. \u201cIf I need to dress him up, I will, and have. I get creative, as I have always been a fashionista, and I get all of his costumes made custom by Daisy\u2019s Costumes on the BLVD.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ross started entering Charles into pageants due to all of the attention received by the public. A Warner Bros. employee stopped her one day and recommended doing something due to his distinctive look. His first pageant took place in Ontario in February 2013.<\/p>\n

Every pageant Charles has participated in has put him in the running to attend state and national competitions. He has competed in pageants run by Gold Coast and California Tropic.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoys are hard to come by in the pageant world,\u201d explained Ross. \u201cI don\u2019t see anything wrong with it. I do believe it is a way for kids to build their self-esteem and helps them with public appearances and being on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a>

Charles was signed by a talent agency in February 2013. Assemblyman Steve Fox provided him a certificate of recognition.<\/p>\n

Ross says her family is very encouraging, \u201cMy family thinks it is a great thing for him to do pageants. They support him 100%,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Charles has received awards in numerous categories, including Best Hair, Best Eyes, Best Smile, Swim Suit, Personality, Tiny Baby Boy, and Youngest Baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he will do pageants for years to come,\u201d said Ross. \u201cI love doing them. I think pageants are something for every kid to experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
