“My baby has grown into a beautiful, independent, compassionate, highly capable young woman,” Mrs. Obama wrote. “But you will always be my littlest pea. I’m so proud of the human you are becoming. Love your mommy.”

Barack’s caption read, “Happy birthday, Sasha! I have loved watching you grow into a intelligent, beautiful, and caring young woman you’ve become. And no matter how old you get – you’ll always be my baby girl. Look at those cheeks!”

When Obama was elected the 44th U.S. president in November 2008, Sasha was 7 years old and became the youngest White House resident since 2-month-old John F. Kennedy Jr. and 3-year-old Caroline Kennedy in 1961, according to Biography.
