The first pictures have emerged of the prime minister with the latest addition to clan Cameron - Florence Rose Endellion.
While politicians are often reviled for their baby-kissing antics to garner popular approval, David Cameron can probably be forgiven for sharing a tender moment with his own daughter.
Florence joins siblings Nancy and Arthur at No 10, along with their mother, Samantha, who is reportedly recovering extremely well after the delivery.
Weighing 6lb 1oz, Florence was delivered by caesarian section at the Royal Cornwall hospital in Treliske on Tuesday.
She had been due in seven or eight weeks, but took the couple by surprise while they were on a family holiday in Cornwall.
When Samantha Cameron announced her pregnancy before the election, many thought it was just the 'bump' (sorry) the Tory leader needed to win the election. Matters took a slightly different course of events, as I'm sure the PM himself could attest.
Florence becomes the second child born to a serving leader in a decade after Leo Blair in 2000, who was the first legitimate child born to a serving prime minister in over 150 years — since the birth of Francis Russell in July 1849.
