Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole welcomed their son Bear on March 22, 2017, and ever since they announced his birth, the couple have kept him pretty private. Up until yesterday, we’ve only gotten pics of the little guy’s hands and feet! It’s honestly been a struggle since we’ve all been dying to know if he looks like the One Direction singer and see how cute he is. But prepare yourselves guys, because we’ve finally gotten a look at the toddler and OMG… he’s even cuter than we imagined!

Get this guys, we didn’t just get one pic of Bear, we got three! That’s right — THREE new photos of “Strip That Down” singer’s son. So why the sudden splurge? Lucky for us, in honor of the year ending, Cheryl decided to share some of her favorite snaps from 2018, and naturally, that included some pics of her son!

The first one she shared showed the little cutie laying on his tummy, participating in what looks like a babies yoga class, and it seriously could not have been cuter.

We are dying over his little arms! The next snap she shared was a sweet photo of the baby standing in a diaper, listening to some music in a big pair of headphones. Um, we may not get a look at his face but LOOK AT THAT HAIR. The 1-year-old is rocking some long, luscious curls, in the photo, and he’s even got a little pony tail. OUR HEARTS.

The third and final photo that the Girls Aloud singer shared showed Bear chasing after a soccer ball, and we cannot believe how big he got! The picture is especially sweet since hardcore Liam fans know that he’s got a major love for soccer.

We are so shook that Bear is walking already, since it seriously feels like just yesterday that the couple were sharing the news that he was born. “My close friends and family know there are very few times when I’m left speechless… wow!” Liam wrote in an Instagram post at the time. “I’m incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it’s a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favorite memory I have so far. I’m completely in awe of his incredible mother and how she has been the whole way through this, she’s really made my dreams come true. We haven’t named him yet but he’s already capturing hearts including mine. I feel very blessed. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!”

We’re hoping we get a pic of Bear’s face soon, but until then, we’ll be busy crying over how cute these ones are.
