And that's exactly what they did, posting five pictures of their adorable babe -- two solo shots of Blue Ivy, one with Mom, one with Dad, and one of an adorable tiny hand touching Beyonce's. Alongside the photos is a note that reads, "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family."
