Prince William and Kate Middleton felt Christmas was the most appropriate time to show the world how big their baby boy is getting, according to People magazine.

In the photos, the nearly 17-month old wears a navy vest with knee-high socks and navy Start-rite walking shoes, which are available on the online store for $56.40. Prince George appears giggly with rosy cheeks and his hair combed to the side.

The new photos were taken at London’s Kesington Palace by Prince Harry’s secretary, Ed Lane Fox, in November. The pictures are the first glimpse of the baby boy since his first birthday in July.

A palace source told the magazine that Prince George’s parents, who are expecting baby No. 2, "are well aware of the interest in him and are keen to share some special moment in his life."

Other sources revealed that the royal couple is also appreciative that "their request for Prince George to grow up without intrusion from photography has been, and continues to be, honored."
