It's the moment we've all been anticipating. One month after the birth of their first child, Blue Ivy, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are letting the world get a glimpse of their precious newborn.

The rapper took to his web site, Life and Times, on Friday and posted several images of the happy family and included the following message:

"We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. - The Carter Family"

Baby Blue was born on January 7 in New York City. Jay-Z, overwhelmed with joy, immediately took to the mic and recorded "Glory" in honor of his daughter. The song, which features the newborn's cries, made Blue the youngest person to ever have a hit song. What else would you expect from Baby Carter?
