Congrats to Law & Order: SVU star Peter Scanavino and wife Lisha Bai!

The two have welcomed their second child together, a baby boy named Leo.

Scanavino, who plays Detective Sonny Carisi on the crime show, announced the happy news and posted a photo of their newborn son, sleeping and wrapped in a blanket, on his Twitter page on Friday.

"Welcome to the world Leo," the 35-year-old actor wrote.

Fellow cast member Kelli Giddish, 35, gave birth to her and husband Lawrence Faulborn's first baby, Ludo, a month earlier.

"Yes, @PeterScanavino @FINALLEVEL @TheKelliGiddish ALL infanticipating, SVU showrunner Warren Leigh tweeted in July. "#SVUMostFertileDramaThereIs."

On Friday, Giddish retweeted Scanavino's photo of his newborn son, saying, "Welcome!"

Main SVU star Mariska Hargitay, a 51-year-old mother of three, also retweeted the actor.

"I can't wait to meet you!" she wrote.

Leight posted side-by-side pics of Scanavino and Giddish's baby boys.

"Leo, meet Ludo. Ludo, meet Leo," he tweeted.
