(CNN)Barack Obama may not be president anymore, but his legendary baby-whispering skills are apparently still going strong, after photographs of his experience with a baby at an Alaska airport were circulated widely on social media.
While in a waiting area for personal flights at Anchorage International Airport on Monday, Obama, who was on his way home after a trip to Asia, spotted 6-month-old Giselle and her mother, Jolene Jackinsky, of Anchorage.
Jackinsky told CNN that Obama walked up and asked “Who is this pretty girl?” Before scooping up the cute infant, who was sporting a ribboned sun hat, while a couple of photos snapped.
When Giselle’s father approached, Obama joked, “Hey! I’m taking your baby,” Jackinsky recalled.
“It was unreal and very exciting. After I met him I couldn’t believe I actually talked to him and he held my baby,” she said.
