We’ve seen little Blue Ivy Carter in the arms of her mother Beyonce on many occasions. But this is the first time anyone’s had a glimpse of the eight month old baby being fussed over by her very proud papa, the legendary rapper Jay Z. The 42-year-old hip hop behemoth was spotted fretting like a mother hen over her cherubic quarry after they arrived in New York by a helicopter.The little darling had been fitted with ear protectors to ensure her delicate shell-likes weren’t damaged by the loud noise of the propellers.But Jay Z, real name Shawn Carter, still looked unsettled by the experience, and was seen peering with concern at his little girl. Blue, who was wearing white (the mark of a rich child as it’s the worst colour to keep clean) looked happy and content, her curls shining stunningly in the light. For years the couple was famously secretive about their lives, refusing even to acknowledge their relationship.But it appears that the birth of daughter Blue Ivy has led to a new chapter in their lives, with Beyonce happily opening up her family album on Tumblr.The singer revealed intimate snaps from behind the scenes of her public and private life, including an adorable picture of her feeding Blue with a bottle while she guzzled dressed in a Watch The Throne T-shirt in honour of Jay-Z’s latest tour with Kanye West.She is about to star in a new documentary film about her life and career, a large step for the private 30 year old.Another picture shows Beyonce dying of laughter as her husband pushes her on a swing. She wore a long flowing pink maxi dress which billowed up around her as Jay-Z pushed - their dog at his heels.
