And to mark the occasion, the Grand Ducal Court of Luxembourg has shared some adorable photos taken by photographer Sophie Margue of the royal baby at home.

Charles, who was born on 10 May, looked so sweet in the pictures as he crawled around a living room and also stopped to sit under a table in one shot. In another, the little boy was surrounded by gifts, although he looked more interested in the decorative ribbons on his presents.
