David Arquette and wife Christina have welcomed their second child into the world – a healthy baby boy.

David, 45, took to Instagram to confirm the exciting news with an adorable photo of the newborn.

Augustus Alexis Arquette || March 8, 2017 @christinaarquette – His first thoughts were “Whatchu Lookin’ At?,” the actor quipped.

We just can’t get over that squishy little face!

The darling new arrival – who will reportedly go by Gus (cute!) – takes his middle name from David’s late sister, Alexis, who unexpectedly passed away in September.

According to the star’s death certificate, which was obtained by TMZ, the 47-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest after the discovery of a bacterial infection in her heart three weeks prior.

She had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart, three years before that, but the cause of death was confirmed as HIV. She lived with the human immunodeficiency virus for 29 years.

Little Gus is set to join big brother Charlie West, two, and half-sister Coco, 12, whom David shares with ex-wife Courtney Cox.

David, who is perhaps best known for his role in the film Scream, announced that he and his 35-year-old wife were expecting their second bundle of joy together in a precious Instagram post.

Uploading a video of his two-year-old son holding an ultrasound photo, he wrote: “So incredibly blessed and honored that my wife @christinaarquette is pregnant with a baby boy!

“Thank you Christina and humbled gratitude to G-D for this tremendous gift! Charlie and Coco are so excited and I am over the moon!!!”

Christina can be heard in the background saying, “Say, ‘Hi, brother!’” to Charlie.

He sweetly asks, “Baby?” to which she replies, “Yeah, it’s a baby in my belly.”

He adds: “Hi brother!” before giving the photo a kiss. Too cute!

Christina and David began dating in 2011, but briefly split in 2012. At the time, David tweeted: “Sadly I’m single again. A long distance relationship proved to be too difficult.”

However, the pair worked things out and announced they were expecting little Charlie in November 2013. They tied the knot in 2015.

Congratulations to the happy family!
