I haven't got the books with me, but when Pippin and Merry are speaking with Treebeard about being added to his song of the creatures of Middle-earth, one of them suggests "half grown hobbits, the hole dwellers".
And later, Pippin seems to be rather unconcerned with his given title "Prince of the Halflings" in Minas Tirith, seeing it as no insult. Perhaps the feelings of Hobbits about the term "halfling" are really more connected to the apparent intent of the speaker.
