One of the biggest news in music arrived in the beginning of the year in the form of a new bundle of joy. Beyonce and Jay-Z, the music industry's hottest power couple, welcomed their first child, Blue Ivy Carter on Jan. 7 in New York City.

Beyonce, 31, didn't take long to reveal that she and Jay-z, 42, expect nothing but the best for their first daughter. In July, Beyonce was spotted holding Blue Ivy while shopping at Bergdorf Goodman and the following month, Jay -Z was photographed protectively carrying his then 8-month-old as they exited a helicopter ride. He was also seen carrying their daughter while the family hung out on a yacht in France on Beyonce's birthday in September. Shoe designer-to-the-A-List stars Ruthie Davis revealed that she created a custom pair of pink leather and suede booties bedazzled with rhinestones for Blue. According to a report, the booties for the then nine-month-old cost the Grammy-winning couple a whopping $798.
