Need a little something to brighten your Monday? Nathan Followill, drummer for platinum-selling alt-rock band Kings Of Leon, is happy to oblige.

The rocker dad has posted the first public photo of his 6-week-old daughter, Violet Marlow, on Twitter…and only the hardest of hearts could resist the babe’s sheer adorable-ness!

“Hello world, my name is Violet, nice to meet you,” reads Followill’s tweet accompanying the cute snapshot. The little girl’s mom is singer-songwriter Jessie Baylin, whom Followill married in 2009.

This may be the first photo of Violet, but it’s certainly not the first time her smitten papa has chatted about her on social media. Since she was born on December 26, Followill has kept up a steady stream of updates on Twitter—ranging from discussion of her “adorable baby toots” to his penchant for watching sports on the couch with her.

Followill is the third member of the band to be initiated into fatherhood. Frontman Caleb Followill and guitarist Matthew Followill each have one child—a daughter and a son, respectively.
