A newborn's "unimpressed" facial expressions are delighting Instagram users, and a video montage of the baby has quickly gone viral with over 1 million likes in the week since his mom Kristen Williams shared it.

The 33-year-old mom told "Good Morning America" she noticed her three-week-old son Kyrie's amusing expressions almost immediately.

"I noticed as soon as we brought him home," the mom wrote in an email. "He was always looking like he was disgusted with his new living arrangements. I was surprised because when I brought my [older] daughter home [as a newborn], she didn't make those expressions."
