Meet the world's cutest baby, little Zeke Walters, who has now gone viral simply for being so adorable. And sleepy.

Baby Zeke took a trip to the mall in Evansville, Indiana with his family to take his first photos with Santa... but unfortunately, he couldn't stay awake for the main event.

The 6-month-old was in line to meet Santa with his dad Donnie Walters, when he let his sleepiness get the best of him.

While Walters thought they could just walk around the mall until Zeke woke up, Santa had a brilliant idea - to let Zeke sleep on his lap for a hilarious photo op.

Clearly, not even the magic of Santa Claus could wake Zeke up, as his dad continued to snap the hilarious poses of their cuddle sesh.

Walters shared the photos of Zeke and Santa on a Facebook page called Donnie's Daddy Daycare, which he set up after Zeke was born to share his baby photos.

The photos quickly spread across the Internet, and users around the Evansville area pointed out that this mall Santa is like a celebrity in the area.

Since the photos were posted, Walters' fan base has grown from less than 300 to more than 9,000. He hopes to show other stay-at-home-dads how rewarding the experience is...

...because you never know when a priceless photo op may strike.
