David and Victoria Beckham have uploaded pictures of themselves cradling their newborn daughter onto the internet.
The couple welcomed their fourth child, and only daughter, Harper Seven in Los Angeles last week.
They have gushed about their new arrival on their social networking pages, and yesterday introduced her to the world in two black and white images.

Victoria was first to show off Harper, posting a picture of David touching noses with the baby on Twitter with the caption “Daddy’s little girl!”
David couldn’t resist snapping a photo of his own, later uploading a candid image of Victoria and Harper napping on his Facebook page.
“I took this picture of my two girls sleeping,” he wrote.
David also honoured his new daughter on the soccer pitch on the weekend. The LA Galaxy star donned a special pair of pink boots, embroidered with the names of all four of his children, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, Cruz, six and baby Harper.
“Check out my boots for the Real Madrid match,” David wrote on Facebook. “A little extra stitching needed from now on.”
David also used his Facebook account to answer questions about Harper Seven’s unusual name. In a series of video posts, he revealed the baby was named after To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee because the book was Victoria’s favourite.
He also confirmed speculation that ‘Seven’ was in reference to his England and Manchester United football jersey number.

The videos also see David discussing the challenges of having a daughter after three sons.
“To have another girl in the family is really incredible,” he said. “We’ve got three beautiful healthy boys already and we’re so lucky to have that and now to have a beautiful little girl.
“Having a daughter is a whole new thing. Having pink in the house, having lilac in the house… and you have to be a lot more delicate with girls than boys and I’m not used to that so it’s a whole new experience.”
Your say: Do you think more celebrities should release photos of their babies online, rather than selling them to magazines for millions of dollars?
