Despite the desire from many tabloid magazines to obtain the first pictures of the Beckham brood’s newest member, Harper Seven, David and Victoria Beckham decided to take matters into their own hands.

The couple released two pictures of their newest addition earlier this week on their Twitter and Facebook accounts.

After gushing on her Twitter account about how Harper Seven is the “most beautiful baby girl she’s ever seen,” husband David posted a picture of Victoria and Harper sleeping together on his Facebook page.

The second photo is of David holding baby Harper, nose to nose, with Victoria Tweeting the the caption, “Daddy’s little girl.”

Even though the world has gotten a glimpse of little Harper, many are still anticipating that the family will participate in a more formal photo shoot. How could they not when the baby’s beautiful parents are so used to being photographed?
