Many people might immediately associate the term "royal baby" with the UK's Prince George, but we think Bhutan has got a cuter kid in its ranks.

Crown Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck is Bhutan's youngest royal, who just so happens to be turning 1 on Feb. 5.

To commemorate the occasion, the Bhutanese website Yellow has made the Crown Prince the cover model for the February edition of its desktop calendar.

The website promises the photo will "melt your heart," and with those puffy cheeks, a regal-looking yellow robe and that smile, it sure does.

It's not the first time he's been the face of the calendar; he also made an equally cute appearance last September. Still with the puffy cheeks.

The Crown Prince is the son of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, who also has a birthday in February, and Queen Jetsun Pema.

The Queen of Bhutan has also shared images of the family on her Facebook page, which is pretty goshdarned adorable.
