A newborn baby racked up more than 100,000 followers - before he was even born.

Calihan Gee was born just four days ago, but the infant already has a pretty impressive Instagram following thanks to his Instagram-famous family.

The newest addition to the Bucket List Family, made up of Garrett, Jessica, and their three children, who boast a million followers on the social media platform, Calihan’s Instagram debut two days ago received 1m views.

The post announced Calihan’s arrival with a black and white video of the newborn laying on his mum’s chest - and it is clear baby Cali is a natural when it comes to posing for Instagram.

And considering the envy-worthy life of the Gee family, it makes sense that the newborn’s Instagram following has already skyrocketed.

Parents Jessica, 32, and Garrett, 30, and their adorable children gained their following when the pair decided to quit their jobs and travel the world indefinitely - after Garrett sold his barcode scanner app to Snapchat for an impressive £38.4m ($54m) in 2014.

Selling their belongings, the family of four, now five, set off on a trip around the globe and have since visited over 50 countries.

However, rather than spending the money they received from the sale of Garrett’s business, the jet-setting family relied on the £32,000 they made from selling everything they owned - and now from the money they receive from sponsorships and YouTube.

After finding out they were pregnant with baby number three, the family spent the last two months settled in Utah to prepare for their new addition.

But it appears the newest family member will be following in the family’s footsteps, as his Instagram page now reads: “Intern Travel Journalist”

And with 144,000 followers already, with just two posts, it looks like little Cali may be the most popular family member yet.
