"The world has been waiting for the first photos of Blue Ivy Carter, so when Jay-Z posted a collection of baby snapshots to his Life + Times website on Friday evening the page got so much traffic that the site temporarily crashed. But we were able to sneak a peek. &amp;quot;We welcome you to share in our joy,&amp;quot; says the note accompanying the photos. &amp;quot;Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter family.&amp;quot; There are five pictures total in the section of the site labeled Glory, which is also the name of the song Jay-Z wrote for his daughter and the track on which you can hear the days old baby crying. There are photos of both new mom Beyonce and dad Jay-Z cradling the baby, who has a full head of thick black hair. The other pictures are of little Blue alone (in the one above I love that she&amp;#x27;s wrapped in a color-appropriate blue polka-dot blanket) and one of the her tiny little fingers touching what appears to be her mom&amp;#x27;s hand. Other than that I can only describe the photos as to die for. All the photos can be seen here. What do YOU think of the first photos of Blue Ivy Carter? Isn&amp;#x27;t she a doll? Loving all that hair. More on Blue Ivy Carter... *Blue Ivy Carter&amp;#x27;s Mother Steps Out for the First Time Since Giving Birth.
