The holiday season also happens to be a time to look back on the year that was, and Google has released their Year in Search 2019 report, featuring roundups of the top trends of the year in a slew of categories from the top overall searches (Disney Plus snagged the #1 slot) to the most popular movies (Avengers: Endgame came in at #1). But the category we're loving the most is obviously the top 10 trending babies of 2019. These were the little ones—born to celebs and born into pop culture—who captured our imaginations this year.

10. Hoda Kotb baby

In April 2019, the TODAY Show co-anchor welcomed her second child: a daughter named Hope Catherine Kotb.

9. Amy Schumer baby

May was a super-busy time for celeb babies, as everyone was on both royal baby watch and Amy Schumer baby watch. The comedian welcomed her first child, a boy named Gene Attell Fischer, on May 5.

Ok here’s my post baby annoying post and my takeaway from pregnancy. Women are the shit. Men are cool and whatever but women are fucking warriors and capable of anything. I was lucky enough to get to have a doula. Her name @domino_kirke @carriagehousebirth what do doulas do? I don’t totally know But what she did was make me and Chris feel totally secure and supported throughout my pregnancy and the birth process. I really recommend getting one if you can. Doctor Brill and all the nurses and pediatricians at Lenox Hill and all the other hospitals i spent time in this year, thank you for everything. I did Pilates with strong women and went for walks. I threw up violently and felt sick mostly every day of my pregnancy. Hyperemesis is real and it’s awful. But fuck, what they say is true. The second you give birth it’s gone. @hgmoms has the best research I found on the condition The only thing that helped me with my nausea was products from @thelordjones I learned that globally 1 in 5 births take place without the assistance of a skilled birth attendant. @everymomcounts is a great place to donate $250 equips a midwife with a bag of medical equipment needed to provide care to hundreds of women and babies in Guatemala. All my friends. Friends I’ve had for 30 years or people who encouraged me to “keep going” or telling me “it will be worth it”. Thank you. Every woman I encountered is so willing to help and advise you and I felt all their strength. And you were right. Thank you ladies from my family. Chris, Gene and of course Tatiana #titsleaking #wearingadiaper

2. Baby Shark

The second most Googled baby is actually a song most kids were obsessed with and parents have Pinkfong, a Seoul-based educational startup, to thank for getting stuck in their heads this year. The YouTube video has 4,158,271,410 views to date.

1. Baby Yoda

And making it to the top of the baby list was a fictional Star Wars character that might not even be a baby—or Yoda, for that matter. It's proof that Star Wars fans really can't get enough of Disney+'s series The Mandalorian, which features what appears to be a pint-sized version of the one of the most famous characters in the entire franchise: Baby Yoda aka "The Child."
