It's not often that hip hop's first couple, Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles-Carter, are spotted going out for lunch in public with their 1-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter!
In early February, the Carter's were spotted loading up in a black vehcicle as they headed to a late lunch at Gjelinas on Abbot Kinney in Venice, Calif. Of course, they were surrounded by the presence of an entourage for protection. [See Pics.]
Beyonce was seen wrapping her daughter in a blanket and placing her in a baby carrier, while Jay-Z her handed her a juice bottle.
Last week the Internet went wild when a leaked photo of baby Blue Ivy Carter emerged. The photo reveals a clear shot of Blue Ivy while she is being held by her superstar diva mother.
The image was taken from a snapshot from Beyonce's HBO documentary Life Is But a Dream which premiered on Feb. 16 and revealed an intimate look at the multi-platinum selling artist's career and personal life.
As Beyonce gazes at her one-year-old daughter, you can't help but realize the toddler's striking resemblance to her hip hop mogul dad. In the film, Beyonce, who appears on the cover of the March issue of Vogue and recently delivered a flawlessly electrifying performance at the Super Bowl, reveals that seeing Blue's face is highlight of her life.
"When I wake up in the morning, the best thing in the world is seeing her face," the pop star said earlier this month. "She's starting to talk. It's just such a beautiful time in my life to have a child and every day see something new and see her learn something new."
This the second time that fans got a good look at baby Blue. The first time occurred one year ago when she was just 4-weeks-old and her famous parents shared photos of their little bundle of joy.
