Gayle King became a first time grandparent in September after her daughter, Kirby Bumpus, welcomed a baby boy, Luca, and his latest photo might just be his cutest yet. 

The CBS Mornings host admitted that she yearned to have a grandchild and one look at the little boy and you can see why.

Kirby took to Instagram with a snapshot of Luca laying on his tummy on the grass, wearing an adorable teddy bear onesie and a pair of sunglasses. He was peeking over the top of the frames and staring at the camera.
