Drew Scottcan’t help but gush about his wife and mother-of-two to-be.

“We are super excited. Linda is a rockstar mom already,” Scott, 45, tells PEOPLE.

He’s also excited to see their son Parker, 20, months “be a big bro.”

“I love seeing Linda as a mom, and the idea of having a couple of kiddos running around is pretty cool. I have siblings, and so for Parker to have a sibling too is pretty cool.”

“I think it’s just little things. It’s really great too because we have a lot of time with family,Jonathan [Scott] , Zooey [Deschanel], and the kids,” Drew explains. His brother Jonathan co-parentsZooey Deschanel’s two children — 6-year-old son Charlie and 7-year-old daughter Elsie — alongside the actress, 43, and her ex-husbandJacob Pechenik.

“My parents are here. Linda’s mom, and then Linda’s sister lives in the neighborhood too with her kids. So whenever we’re doing stuff, we’re all very environmentally focused,” Drew adds, also sharing that the family doesn’t use single-use plastics and composts.

Which has led to Drew’s little boy picking up some excellent habits, quite literally.

“So Parker, well, if he sees something on the ground, he’s only 20 months old, he’ll run over and get it and he’ll go over to the recycling or garbage can, depending on what it is, and he’ll put it in. And to me, that’s funny because… at that age, I would eat the dirt,” he jokes.

The couple announced that they’re expecting in a sweet joint Instagrampostearlier this month.

“Round 2👶,” they wrote in the caption of the photo, which saw Parker touching Phan’s growing belly. “I hope Parker’s ready for a lil company❤️❤️.”

TheProperty Brothersstar previously opened up to his brother Jonathan aboutthe challenges of parenting, as the two got candid for a Father’s Day interview on their website.

“I was back in school finishing my Executive MBA and I had to fly out to Boston two months after Parker was born for two weeks,” Drew recalled. “The early stages of being born is a tough time to leave a parent solo.”

While Phan “was good at letting me know what she needed to tackle everything, but after doing that it made me understand how easy it could be to just let Linda take the reins on everything Parker — I’m at work all day and she’s with him, so it’s easy for me to forget that I’m a parent here too and I have certain responsibilities.”
