President Obama's (not so) little girl Malia, aged just 12...5ft 9in tall

Seeing eye to eye Malia nearly matches her father's 6ft 1in. She is thought to be 5ft 9in tall

He still calls her his 'baby', but President Barack Obama will be first to acknowledge his eldest daughter Malia is growing up fast.
The 12-year-old is now is almost shoulder-to-shoulder with her famous father, who is among the tallest of the U.S. Presidents.
A growth spurt over the past year has seen her shoot up to almost the same height as her mother Michelle, who is 5ft 11in.

Her stature was evident as she stood next to her father at the end of the family's Martha's Vineyard holiday, with her mother and sister Sasha, nine.
Malia was a few inches shy of her father's 6ft 1in. Having inherited her parents' ' tall genes', experts predict she could easily reach 6ft.

She is said to be 5ft 9in - almost seven inches taller than an average girl.
Photographed alongside her father at his election rallies in late 2008, she was estimated to be 5ft 4in.
White House officials will not discuss Malia's height, but she is thought to have grown more than six inches in the last two years.
But while she may be growing ever taller, Malia is still her father's little girl.
Mr Obama said during a speech in Kansas in July: 'Even though she's 5ft 9in, she's still my baby.'
'And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting ... she's starting to look too old for me.
