The Today show anchor donned a ‘Let’s Go Girls’ tank top, sports bra, and leggings while her little one rocked a striped T-shirt and colorful print shorts in the photo that captured a relaxed and natural moment between the mom and baby in the comfort of their home.

Her sweet flick was quickly amassed over 59,000 likes and a myriad of baby-complimenting messages. 

The photo follows just weeks after the journalist’s visit back home to Alexandria, Virginia, with little Haley in tow.

Hoda also took to Instagram to document the homecoming adventure where her baby girl seemed to have a blast as she was wheeled about the Old Town and was showered with love by her extensive family.

Hoda took to Instagram on September 30 to share some highlights from her time back home, including a group shot indoors with family.

In the picture, little Haley is sitting on the lap of her uncle Abel (Hoda’s younger brother), with a picture book in front of her and a happy, open smile on her face.

In another, she is being wheeled around Alexandria in a baby carriage, with two young girls helping Hoda push.

A particularly heartwarming shot shows three generations of women: Hoda smiles with her arm around her mother Sameha, while Haley — in a pink jacket and matching pink hat — sits contentedly in front of them.

The images have already earned tens of thousands of likes on Instagram, where Hoda’s fans gushed over how adorable Haley is.

Though this doesn’t appear to be Haley Joy’s first trip to Virginia, the infant is having a year of firsts — and last weekend, she enjoyed her very first high-profile concert.

Last Sunday, Hoda logged on Instagram to share a heartwarming photo of her and her longtime partner, Joel Schiffman, posing in front of Haley’s stroller at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City.

‘Had fun at the @globalcitizenfestival this weekend! Haley’s first concert in Central Park xo,’ she captioned the image, which sees her and Joel smiling for the camera. 

The two were both wearing their Global Citizen passes around their necks. Joel was dressed in a polo and shorts, and Hoda kept cozy in a light sweater and tan pants.

As for little Haley, she was happily looking at her mom while holding her bottle in her hands. 

Although the little girl was oblivious to the significance of Saturday’s concert, it was a star-studded event. The annual music festival is part of a movement to end extreme poverty, and this year’s headliners included Stevie Wonder, Green Day, and The Killers. There were also special performances and plenty of celebrity hosts and presenters. 

But the concert wasn’t the baby’s first celebrity run-in. Just a couple weeks earlier little Haley Joy stole Kelly Clarkson’s heart when she visited her mom on set of the Today show.
