Prince Gabriel is celebrating his first birthday — with his baby blues on full display!
The Swedish royal family released two incredibly sweet portraits of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia‘s second son on Friday in honor of the exciting milestone.
“Congratulations beloved Gabriel,” the proud parents captioned a close-up shot of Gabriel smiling and showing off his bright blue eyes on their joint Instagram account in Swedish. “For a year you have spread joy to us and big brother!”
The Swedish Royal Court’s official Instagram account shared another portrait of the baby happily looking at the camera.
Gabriel wears a light blue shirt that matches his eyes in the snaps, the same color that he and big brother Prince Alexander, 2, wore in a family portrait released earlier this month.

Carl Philip, 39, agreed: “Gabriel and Alexander are still so small, but it’s so exciting to follow their development. It’s great to be part of their journey.”
