Not every decision Justin Bieber has made in his life has been a responsible one remember that monkey? but his recent behaviour is proof that were all capable of change and growth.

On Sunday, the Stratford, Ont.-born singer released a photo of himself holding his newborn niece Iris, who he calls the most squishy cute gumdrop ever. Hes shirtless but wearing a mask as he cuddles the baby.

Iris was born to Biebers sister-in-law, Alaia Baldwin, and her husband, Andrew Aronow, last week .
