His hair is parted to his left, while he smiles directly into the camera, exposing several missing top teeth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-758e41\" class=\"body-graf\">This year&#8217;s image is much more casual. Louis is standing up near the water in a blue quarter-zip with his arms casually crossed at his chest. With his windblown hair, Louis looks as though he&#8217;s squinting into the sun, and his broad smile shows off his newly grown-in adult teeth. The official Instagram page credits Matt Porteous for photography.<\/p>\n<section id=\"anchor-e16911\" class=\"embed-widget embedWidget embed-widget--medium\" data-testid=\"embed-widget\"\/>\n<p id=\"anchor-a0f52f\" class=\"body-graf\">The Wales&#8217; official Instagram page also posted a sweet video of Louis running around outdoors. He digs in the sand, plays cricket, jumps into the water in a wetsuit and races toward the camera in the sand. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-fa1f23\" class=\"body-graf\">Louis has delighted people around the world with his impish antics and expressions.
