(CNN) - A 6-month-old girl in Alaska became an internet celebrity thanks to former president Barack Obama, and her wide-eyed expression.

A picture of Obama with Giselle went viral after the girl's mother, Jolene Jackinsky snapped the picture at Anchorage International Airport.

The family happened to bump into Obama as he was heading home from vacation.

Obama walked by and asked if he could hold the baby, remarking about how quickly they grow up.

Jackinsky said it was unreal to meet the former commander-in-chief, and described him as friendly.
