Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey have officially added another child to their growing family. The happy couple welcomed a baby girl into the world this week, and the proud father has now revealed her name.

According to People, the Iron Man star and his wife welcomed their daughter in Los Angeles Tuesday, Nov. 4. The excited father took to Facebook to announce the birth of his newest child.

"Yep... Avri Roel Downey joined the party @ 3:22 a.m. on November 4th... she's 7 lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwritten my 'junk DNA,'" Robert wrote on his account Wednesday, Nov. 5.

The Judge star continued by saying he would share pictures once he stops staring at his new bundle of joy.

"After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project. Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, 'Dad! You are embarrassing me ... I'm 30, this has gotta stop,'" he said.

"I'll post pics here + there when I'm not too busy staring..." he added.

In July, Robert announced his happy news via Facebook, saying, "Um. I don't know if it's a 'man's world,' but I'm certain women run it. Susan and I are therefore delighted to announce we are expecting a baby. Girl. November."

Avri is the second child for Robert and Susan, who have son Exton Elias, 2, together. This is the third child for The Avengers actor, who has another son, 21-year-old Indio, from his previous marriage to Deborah Falconer. This is the first daughter for Robert, and he couldn't be more excited.

"Girl Joy!! Avri Roel Downey, 7lbs, 20 in., 3:22 a.m. 11-4-14... Pretty like mama, and dimples like my uncle Jim!" the 49-year-old actor wrote on his Twitter account this morning.

Congratulations to the happy couple on the newest addition to their family!
