Jon Pardi should receive an award for the cutest Instagram post of the week. He posted a sweet video of him singing to his eight-month-old daughter Presley in the family living room at his home while she cheered and laughed when dad sang her name.

Jon made up the words to the song as he sang, singing in part, "Little baby Presley knows her name." As Dad sang, Presley giggled and danced in her walker. Pardi wrote over the video "A little early morning jam session for Presley." He captioned the precious video, "Mornings with Presley."

Fans gushed about the video clip, with one writing, "Omg so cute!!! She loves him singing!!!" Another fan said, "Sooo adorable. love your little family; you guys are the best." One more fan commented, "How precious is this..U ROCK JON!!!"

Presley, the first child for Jon and his wife Summer, was born on February 18, 2023, at a Nashville area hospital.

Pardi recently announced his first-ever Christmas album, Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi, released on October 27, and his headline holiday show at Beacon Theatre in New York City on December 16. Produced by Pardi, Bart Butler, and Ryan Gore—the 12-track holiday album releases the same week he is set to become the first California native inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

In addition to his December 16 holiday show in New York, Pardi will kick off the holiday season performing live at Nashville's favorite holiday tradition, the Opry Country Christmas shows, on November 26. Returning to the Grand Ole Opry House for the third year, Opry Country Christmas will be Pardi's first major activity as an Opry member.

Jon posted the news on his Christmas album to Instagram, writing, "Excited to announce that my Christmas album is coming out on October 27! Pre-save / pre-add it now at the link in my bio. We're also having a big ole Christmas party at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on December 16!"

Fans were excited with the news, and one commented, "We are going to a Christmas Pardi!!!" Another fan said, "Can't wait!! Love Xmas time!!"
