    First public photos of Blue Ivy Carter go online

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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 http://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.

        Um mixed babies? White, mixed, or African American....a baby can be born with straight hair.

        Mixed....Most black as well as whites are "mixed". It depends on what gene

      She is a beautiful baby just like all babies, no more special than any other baby. For some reason people want to see this baby because her parents are famous. At least they are gracious about it and not trying to make millions of dollars off of the pictures like so many other celebs do.

      She's beautiful and I wish them health and happiness for all of their lives.

    • Charity  •  Phoenix, Arizona  •  3 months ago
      At least they didn't make $14 million off the photos of their baby like Angelina and Brad did. I respect Beyonce for that! Cute baby. Let's see more!

        But Angelina and Brad donated all the money to charities..I feel the paper made money sell the pictures of Celebraties kids..why not ask the papers to paid and donated it all to charities..
      • Overthehill 3 months ago
        Brad and Angelina got 11 million dollars that was donated to charity. Sure wish people would post accurate information.

      ITs too early to see much resemblance to her parents, a few more months and well start to see but i think she looks like beyonce a little so far and her skin might get a lil darker over time shes mixed with Creole and Native American so yea her skin is gonna look lighter smh I hope her best of luck hopefully she becomes successful like her mom and it doesnt has to be necessarily in Entertainment.

        oh that explains the straight hair too. thanks

      She is just a baby. Nothing more and nothing less - just a baby.
      • A Yahoo! User 3 months ago
        She already looks world weary. Too bad!

      Hello Little One, you look just like your Grandmama!!! Has anyone looked at Beyonce's Mom? Ivy looks like her, BEAUTIFUL. Her parents are not royalty just extremely blessed and successful. The little princess should be Daddy's little girl and the apple of her Mom's eye. Enjoy family life guys, it is a priviledge and an honor, not a right!
    • Kameelah  •  New York, New York  •  3 months ago
      people would believe everything they hear even if its not true..i dont care what nobody says.. that baby belongs to her mother beyonce and her father jay-z.
      I wish the joy of parenthood...
    • Gemini Geisha  •  Kingston, Jamaica  •  3 months ago
      How can people say it isn't her baby? They say the baby is white and beyonce and jay are black. But look at solange's baby! Daniel Smith isnt a white man! The baby got a generation colour.

      Why most we say bad things. B & J I'm so happy for you stay strong and know some people will always find the bad. It has nothing to with being rich, dang if you do are don't they will still find something negative to say. I wish you all the best welcome to parenthood. This is when the true fun begins. She is so beautiful enjoy your blessing.

      She is a beautiful baby, she has her father's eyes if you just take a closer look. So many black babies are born with straight hair, but it turns kinky by the time they are a year old. Where have you black folk been all of these years? I know my son was born w/straight hair and his hair turned thick & kinky by the time he was a year old and his children were the same way. But anyway, CONGRATS TO YOU 2.

      What kind of name is 'Blue Ivy'???? She's not a pet! Poor kid...
    • Oceangirl  •  Hayward, California  •  3 months ago
      Blue Ivy resembles her grandmother, Tina. Congrats to the whole family!
    • Tessa  •  Charlotte, North Carolina  •  3 months ago
      I am not sure who told some of you that two African American parents can't birth a child with straight hair, but you are dead wrong! Some people should keep their stupidity to share with a mirror. Beautiful baby and I wish the Carter family all the best. Stop hating and be happy for others...better yet "get your life"

      Let's get a pool together on how many days b4 the kid starts selling crack, first shoplifting bust.
    • D V  •  3 months ago
      I think they mixed it up with a Mexican baby. Better straighten that out.
    • CM  •  Elmhurst, Illinois  •  3 months ago
      I hope all these people on here who talk about how special and adorable and wonderful this kid is gives some of this same praise to a kid in their lives or community who could use the motivation. We spend all this time gushing over these celebritiy kids who don't know us, won't be impacted by a thing we say, and who will already have every advantage in life. Loook around your immediate world and find a kid that you might actually impact with such lofty words!

      Charlotte, Beyounce IS half white - not that it matters. Just thought I would mention that also.
      To Beyounce and Jay-Z a mega congratulations and God bless your darling little daughter.
