Grant Kessler, 18, of Pickerington, Ohio, dressed up in a full suit to meet his new baby niece, Carter, at the hospital. When his sister, Iris Kessler, asked why he was dressing up, he responded by saying, "First impressions matter."
Iris snapped a photo of her brother and published it on Twitter, where it quickly got the attention of hundreds of thousands of people.

Iris said the action was "totally classic" of her brother.
"When Carter's older, I wanted her to look back and look at those pictures of the day she was born and see the respect and the attention she was getting that day. I think me wearing the suit was a small part of that," Grant told WCMH.
