Beyonce & Jay-Z Shares First Photos Of Blue Ivy Carter!

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) Beyonce and Jay-Z have released the first photos of their 1-month-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter (the rapper's real name is Shawn Carter) on her very own Tumblr page, HelloBlueIvyCarter. She's been a sensation since she's been born, and now Blue Ivy has made her public debut.
Five photos of the 1-month-old were posted by her parents - Beyonce and Jay-Z - on a page at the blogging service Tumblr.
The pictures at helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com include a close-up of the baby and two of each parent holding her. Blue Ivy is their first child.

A statement next to the photos reads, "We welcome you to share our joy." The couple also thanked the public for respecting their privacy.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are the latest celebrities to shun big bucks from the tabloid press for exclusive rights to baby pictures and instead post the photos on a public website for free. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon debuted their twins in the same way last year.

Millions of tweets and worldwide well-wishes are sure to follow for the most talked about baby in recent memory. To quote another oddly named and somewhat polarizing worldly figure, Cat Stevens: "Oh, baby baby it's a wild world/It's hard to get by just upon a smile."

Congratulations to the happy couple on their new addition, she's a gorgeous baby!
