Baby Tree: When Barack Obama met Prince George (& 14 more adorable photos)

There were several headlines to come out of President Barack Obama's recent visit to the UK, but one of the most memorable moments of the trip - at least in terms of sheer cuteness - had to be his meeting with 2-year-old Prince George.

The President and First Lady, Michelle Obama, were invited to dinner at Kensington Palace with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, and the little prince was reportedly allowed to stay up 15 minutes past his bedtime so that he could say hello to their guests.

The only thing that could have made the moment any more adorable was if George had been wearing PJs and a fluffy white bath robe. Oh wait, he was.

Stop it. How cute is that?

Of course, this isn't the first time we've seen Barack Obama win over a younger crowd. The dad-of-two has quite a rapport with kids - he was even dubbed "the baby whisperer" after he managed to calm a very fussy baby just by holding her at the annual White House congressional picnic in 2011.

Here are some other times the President seemed struck by baby fever:

The Obamas' own kids, Sasha, almost 15, and Malia, almost 18, have grown up so much during their family's time in the White House, a fact that the President referenced during an emotional speech earlier this year.

"When I was first elected to this office Malia was 10 and Sasha was just 7," he said at the state dinner in March. "They grow up too fast. This fall Malia heads off to college. . . . I’m starting to choke up. So I’m going to wind this — it was in my remarks — and I didn’t — I can’t do it. It’s hard.”

Politics aside, I think all parents can relate to that.
