Jenna Bush Hager shared a rare photo of her daughter Poppy, as her youngest daughter turned nine years old.
The proud mom of three took to Instagram to share rare photos of Poppy, who was the spitting image of the Today host. The now-nine-year-old leaned against her mom in a selfie as part of the carousel post, where they both wore light pink shirts and matching smiles.

More photos saw Poppy spending time with her older sister Mila, and her younger brother Hal too, as well as cosying up to her cat.

"Nine years with this beauty: and my world is more fun, more dazzling and definitely filled with more laughter! We love you," she continued.
Jenna and Henry announced the birth of their second daughter in 2015, explaining that there was a special meaning behind her name.
"We are thrilled to announce the birth of our darling daughter," they said, revealing that "Poppy is named after Jenna's grandfather, George Herbert Walker "Poppy" Bush, a.k.a. Gampy."

Meanwhile, Poppy's middle name was "in honor of our grandmothers' middle names, Louise and Lewis. Mom and Poppy are healthy and well," the statement finished.

Clearly inheriting her parents' sense of humor, she cheekily invited her classmates for a ride on Air Force One.

Jenna is also mom to Mila, 11 and Hal, who just turned five years old.
Celebrating his special day on August 2, the Today host posted: "Five years with this beautiful boy! I love you Hal Hager! Today and always!"
