Hargitay, 47, and her husband, actor Peter Hermann, 43, adopted the little girl in April.
At the time, she told PEOPLE: "I'm deliriously happy. From the minute she was born, she was just surprisingly alert and so full of love.”

Though the child was born in the United States, Hargitay said: "We were considering both international and domestic adoption and we're thrilled that this is the way our prayers were answered," she added.
"We talked a lot about mixed-race adoptions, and we are very excited that we are now a multi-racial family. We're just so happy she's here."
The couple also has a 4-year-old son, August.
