James Middleton couldn't be more besotted by his son Inigo, whom he shares with his wife, Alizée Thervenet.
Since little Inigo's arrival, Prince Kate's brother, 37, has shared occasional glimpses into his life with his bundle of joy, and it's safe to say that he is besotted - and we can see why!
Despite only sharing occasional snaps of his firstborn, lnigo has had quite the six months having already been on two incredible holidays with his doting parents, as well as settling into life with his pack of five furry four-legged siblings, Zulu, Inka, Luna, Mabel, Nala and Isla.
Keep scrolling as we take a look back at baby Inigo's sweetest moments so far…
Birth announcement
James announced the arrival of little Inigo on 27 October 2023 with a series of adorable photos from their sprawling countryside home in Berkshire.
© Instagram"He has been in our lives for just a few weeks but they have been the most special of my life getting to know our beautiful baby boy [blue love heart emoji]," James wrote as part of a lengthy caption.

Carol concert
In December, James stepped out at the Dog's Trust carol concert with his son and his wife Alizée.
Little Inigo looked so sweet, all wrapped up in a cosy knitted blue baby grow and a matching baby blue knitted hat. The baby also wore a warm knitted white cardigan.
New mum Alizée looked so elegant as she cradled her bundle of joy and wore a white frilly shirt, tartan skirt and warm navy blue coat.
A cosy dog walk
On New Year's Eve, James shared a reflective post ahead of the new year containing two adorable glimpses of baby Inigo.
The first photo saw the newborn strapped to his father as they, Alizée and their pack of dogs, ventured out for a wintry walk on the beach. Inigo's face was obscured from view, nestled into his dad's chest, but he was well wrapped up in a quilted navy blue hood and a knitted grey hat.

Inigo has already found his place amongst the pack, giggling every time one of the dogs comes over to nestle up beside us."
© InstagramThe second photo showed fans exactly what James was talking about, and saw Inigo in his Moses basket in front of a roaring fire whilst his golden retrievers, Mabel and Isla, stood guard behind him.
Inigo looked adorable wearing a stripy top adorned with an elephant and grey leggings.
On the slopes
In February, Inigo went on his very first family holiday - skiing! James was incredibly excited to share news of the trip, confessing: "I have been waiting for the day we could go on our first adventure with the dogs together".
To mark the incredible break away, James shared an impressive video of him pulling Inigo on a sledge whilst Alizeé and the dogs rode along with him.

Inigo was nice and secure in a black baby carrier and didn't leave his father's side.
James' 37th birthday
Earlier this month, James delighted followers when he shared the most adorable photo twinning with his little boy on his birthday.
The father-son duo were two peas in a pod wearing matching black berets whilst posing in their stunning home.
"Matching bérets to celebrate my Birthday [balloon emoji]. Surrounded by family, friends and of course my dogs [red love heart emoji]," he wrote alongside the heartfelt photo.
