Kotb announced that she adopted her daughter on Valentine's Day during a phone call that aired on the TODAY show.
"Can you believe I have a daughter?" the 52-year-old shared on the morning show at the time. "I didn't know that my heart could feel like this. I just didn't. With all the love I've ever had in my life—and I've had the best love—I've never ever imagined I could feel this."

Haley already has a pretty amazing group of friends for being only one month old.
Over the last few weeks, Kotb has shared snaps of her daughter with her fellow TODAY show hosts, including Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer and Al Roker.
In her photo with Guthrie, she wrote, "Aunt savannah showed us how to swaddle !!!"

Kotb filed the adoption paperwork alone and left Schiffman off the documents. But, that was only to simplify the adoption process. The morning show host told PEOPLE last week that he will be by her side to parent their daughter.
"Haley will call him Dad," she said. "[Joel] has been so great. He's such a great dad and a great influence."

Kotb shared a photo of her daughter and Schiffman for the first time on Instagram on Wednesday, March 15.
In the photo, Haley is seen getting some tummy time next to her dad who laid in the same pose. Although you can't see her face in the photo, you can see Schiffman smiling from ear-to-ear.
We can't help but think Haley has a big smile on her face too!
