Everyone wants to meet baby Hal!
Jenna Bush Hager and husband Henry Hager welcomed their third child, Henry Harold “Hal” Hager, on Aug. 2.
Since then, there’s been a rush of people to meet the 7-pound, 5-ounce bundle of joy.
He’s already met grandma and grandpa (former president and first lady George W. and Laura Bush), “Today” show colleague Savannah Guthrie, Aunt Barbara (Hager’s twin sister who brought donuts and tacos!), and of course he met big sisters, Mila, 6, and Poppy, 3.
But it one moment made Hager’s heart melt.
Hager’s “Today” show co-host Hoda Kotb and her 2-year-old daughter Haley Joy got to visit and hold baby Hal.
“Look who came to visit,” Hager shared to Instagram with photos from the visit. “Swipe to see the moment my heart-melted.”

Hager and Kotb joined forces in April for “Today with Hoda & Jenna” as Hager replaced Kathie Lee Gifford.
Since then, we’ve watched the duo’s friendship blossom as they both welcomed new babies around the same.
Kotb announced the adoption of her second child, Hope Catherine, in April, just a week before Hager shared that she was pregnant with her third.
Hager had opened up on the show about feeling guilty because she was pregnant, knowing that Kotb wanted to expand her family.
But the co-hosts were nothing but excited and happy for one another.

Tearing up—because I felt so much love from all of these awesome women who lift me up every day, celebrate me, and make me laugh. Sharing this magical, motherhood moment with this mama @hodakotb is one great gift. And to you all who have encouraged, laughed along, and supported me, my gratitude is endless. Can’t wait to meet this babe and yes, be reunited with my Hoda on @hodaandjenna

“[It] made my heart hurt that she felt bad, but also, it made me love her so much more,” Kotb told People. “On your best day, somehow you’re worried about how I’m feeling.”
The two blissful (and probably tired) mamas will have plenty to talk about when they return to the show together after maternity leave.
“We are creating these new things together. New lives, and a new show as a team,” Hager said.
