An Alaska mother recently shared pics of former President Barack Obama holding her baby, and Twitter can’t get over how adorable it is.
Jolene Jackinsky told the Associated Press that she was looking for her airline at Anchorage International Airport on Monday when she spotted the erstwhile commander in chief seated in a waiting area for private flights. According to Jackinsky, she initially wasn’t sure if the man in question was, in fact, Obama.
“As I got closer, I thought: Oh my God, it is Obama,” she said.
The former leader of the free world then greeted Jackinsky and her six-month-old daughter, Giselle, who was in her arms.

The mom snapped a few photos of Obama holding Giselle, who looked wide-eyed in her straw hat.
Jackinsky added that when Giselle’s father approached, Obama joked, “I’m taking your baby.”
The images that Jackinsky posted to Facebook have since gone viral, and Twitter users are weighing in on the cute moment.
“This baby is anyone meeting Obama,” said one user about the seemingly awestruck tyke.
Another individual tweeted, “If Barack Obama walked up to me and, ‘Hey! I’m taking your baby,’ I’m giving him my baby and thanking him for the honor.”
That baby is meeting Obama in style! #thatHat https://t.co/jxIzbOeQQy

Look at this man. Adorable and relaxed baby girl. America went from Dreamboat to desperate for a lifeboat faster than you can say, Obama.
