Vance family posts photos of newborn Alec

The Vance family with newborn Alec Neel Vance Vance.

Second lady Usha Vance posted some new photos of the couple's newborn Alec Neel Vance Vance on social media Friday, showing off the new addition their family. The Vances became a party of six on Sunday with Alec's historic birth, which was the first time in more than 150 years that a sitting U.S. vice president welcomed a newborn.

"Thank you for all the good wishes as we settle into life as a family of six. 🩵"  the second lady wrote. "Meet Alec — and enjoy these attempts at taking a decent family photo with four kids!" The photos showed the Vances, including their other children, Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and 4-year-old Mirabel, sitting on a couch with baby Alec. The social media post also included a closeup of Alec resting peacefully in his mother's arms. 

The post was quote-tweeted many times with everyday people and prominent politicians offering congratulations and extending warm wishes to the Vance family. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, wrote "Make Families Great Again 🥹" in her congratulatory message. Earlier this week, President Trump posted a photo of Alec along with two of his siblings, which gave Americans their first glimpse of the Vances' new addition.
