Thank god for babysitters!

New parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z left adorable (and newly Tumblr-ized!) baby Blue Ivy at home to hit up the Knicks-Nets game last night at Madison Square Garden, posing for pics together for the first time since welcoming their new bundle of joy.

Hey, even doting A-list parents need a date night every now and then, right?

The chill couple were spotted courtside cozying up to each other and taking in all the action. And although we're betting they were rooting for the Nets (of which Jay-Z is a part owner), we're pretty sure they were blown away by Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin, who ended the game with 21 points and nine assists.

(Jay-Z still had the last whoop, though: The Nets trumped the Knicks 100-92.)

Bey looked effortlessly chic in a relaxed white tee (which she paired with a canary blazer), skinny jeans and sky-high geometric-print platforms. She also rocked gold hoop earrings and major bling on her fingers, with fingernails painted—what else?—sparkly blue.

This is the first time the couple's been photographed post–Blue Ivy, but it isn't the first time they've stepped out together since her birth. Bey showed her hubby loads of support earlier this month when she attended his benefit show at Carnegie Hall, and even kicked back at the after-party at his 40/40 Club.

The rapper-mogul is coming off a Grammy victory last week, taking home the Best Rap Performance award with Kanye West for "Otis," while Bey recently announced plans to release two albums in 2012.

With such busy, overachieving parents, we're just waiting for Blue Ivy to finally get into the family business! After all, she's already hit the Billboard charts, and her name is all trademarked and good to go.
