Pretty little baby.

Ian Harding took to social media to reveal that he has become a father, sharing the first pic of his child on Instagram.

"Thank you for the Birthday wishes folks," he wrote on Sept. 16. "I'm thankful for many things this past year, but most of all I'm grateful for the best early birthday present a fella could ask for."

In the adorable photo, Ian—who turned 36 that same day—can be seen holding his baby's tiny hand, with their fingers wrapped around his thumb and clothed in cute zebra-print pajamas.

Neither the child's sex nor name was revealed in the post.
