New dependent addition

Congrats on your new little one.
Later this summer the IRS will add to their Child tax portal the option to add dependents https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/advance-child-tax-credit-payments-in-2021. (See: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/2021-child-tax-credit-and-advance-child-tax-credit-payments-t...)
Of course, if you did nothing then you also have the option to reconcile any amounts you were eligible for on your 2021 taxes (filed 2022).
