Meet Sophia Elizabeth! Christy Carlson Romano Introduces 'Zen-Like' Newborn Daughter

Introducing Sophia Elizabeth!

Christy Carlson Romano and husband Brendan Rooney welcomed their second daughter on Feb. 18, making 2-year-old Isabella Victoria a big sister.

“We’re stunned by how beautiful and Zen-like Sophia is,” Romano tells PEOPLE exclusively for this week’s issue, out Friday, sharing the first photo of baby Sophia’s adorable face.

“Izzy is already so in love with her baby sister,” adds the Disney Channel alum, 34.  “We can’t wait to watch them grow to become best friends.”

A rep for Romano confirmed her second child’s birth exclusively to PEOPLE on Feb. 20, sharing that the newborn arrived at 1:27 p.m. on Feb. 18, weighing 7 lbs., 2 oz.

“Between moving to a new home, walking the Kim Possible red carpet in 6-inch heels, 4 cm dilated, and a stomach flu that hit the whole house 24 hours before I delivered, labor with this little angel was like a vacation!” the former Kim Possible voice actress joked to PEOPLE at the time.
