Robert Downey Jr has finally given his fans a first look at his new daughter Avri. Five months after the youngster made her way into the world on 4 November 2014, her proud father shared a sweet snapshot of his baby girl on The Late Show with David Letterman. "Congratulations! We have another baby, this is a little girl," the host told Robert."Yes, we have a daughter named Avri," replied the Iron Man star. "I have three kids now, I have a 21-year-old named Indio, I have a three-year-old named Exton and now Avri who is now a little over five months."I thought I'd show the first picture on planet earth here with you kind sir," he added. "I would love [to show] it."

Baby Avri made her photo debut on The Late Show with David Letterman

The adorable picture of little Avri, which shows her sporting a sweet yellow woollen hat, was met with a loud 'aw' from the audience while Robert said "You've got to love a yellow bonnet.

No rivalry?""No, not yet," responded the New York-born star, laughingly adding: "I mean it's natural for Exton to want to bite her every once in a while and it can start off as a little pet and it turns into a nibble. "The chatshow host was keen to reassure the actor that children "have a way of figuring it all out.""They do," replied Robert. "I think it's just establishing dominance, but then she'll be running stuff at some point."

"After 9 months of intensive development, Team Downey is pleased to announce our 2014 fall/winter project," wrote Robert on his Facebook page. "Principal photography commenced 11-14 and will continue until she says, "Dad! You are embarrassing me... I'm 30, this has gotta stop.""Yep...Avri Roel Downey joined the party @ 3:22 a.m. on November 4th...she's 7lbs even, spans 20 inches, and is accompanied by a variety of Susan's traits that have seemingly overwritten my "junk DNA." I'll post pics here + there when I'm not too busy staring..."
