Four-month-old Oliver Jack Carter Lomas-Davis earned the nickname "Bernie Baby" after images of him looking like the Democrat candidate spread across the internet.
He was dressed to look like Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders with hilarious results.
In the cute snaps he is sporting a white wig, glasses and a plaid tie, while being held by the Vermont Senator at a Las Vegas rally.

Bernie Sanders' fans left heartfelt messages for Oliver's mother today
I love you dearly, I love you most. I love you with all my heart and soul. I know that God will keep you near since God and truth are here
But less than two weeks later his mum has revealed he died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Sids).
Susan Lomas, Oliver’s mother broke the news on Facebook.
She wrote: "I love you dearly, I love you most. I love you with all my heart and soul. I know that God will keep you near since God and truth are here."

Mr Sanders' campaign posted the image on its Twitter page, along with the message: "In loving memory of Oliver Jack Carter Lomas, you will always shine in our hearts!"
A GoFundMe page set up to help pay the costs of his funeral has so far raised more than $22,000.
Oliver's funeral will be held in California this weekend.
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) - also known as crib death - describes the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of a child aged under one year.
The exact cause of SIDS is unknown, but it is thought to be influenced by a specific time in a baby's development and environmental stresses.
