In new paparazzi photos, Kim Kardashian spent quality time with her daughter North West, 12, in Rome, Italy, where they enjoyed dinner at a swanky restaurant.

Kim, 44, and her eldest child were seen leaving Pierluigi Restaurant. North wore her familiar blue hair extensions, while rocking a black corset with ruffled blue skirt and black steam-punk boots.

In the photos, North towers over her mom who is wearing 4-inch heels.

The average height for a 12-year-old girl is 4-ft-3, according to medical journals.

In April, I posted photos of Kim and North West leaving a scalp spa after spending a mother-daughter day together. North was taller than her mom, who is listed as 5-ft-3 inches tall.

Kim and North wore matching pink daytime pajamas and house slippers. Kim also wore a long black leather coat and her hair pulled back in a slick bun.

There was some push back in the Rose Garden from readers who refused to believe North West is all grown up and taller than her mom.
