John explained: 'I don’t know that [parenting] brought a lot of surprises. You’re just learning new things every day.

'Part of it is learning how to parent together. Even though Chrissy and I have been together for a long time, we haven’t been parents together until last year.

'So I think you start to learn how to parent together. [You figure out] what kind of responsibilities you want to share and take on.

'It’s really just fascinating watching the human mind develop and see what they pick up like and how quickly they pick it up.'

Cheers to that! The Grammy-winning musician, 38, spoke during a VIP tasting of his LVE Wines Collection held at The Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles on Thursday

The All Of Me hitmaker and the Sports Illustrated cover girl enlisted the help of their adorable daughter Luna when they announced Chrissy's pregnancy in late November.

And John said seeing their little girl develop and reach new milestones is a real high-point of the couple's parenting journey.

He added to DailyMail.com: 'When they start walking and when they start crawling and how excited you get when they just turn over for the first time by themselves.

'There's all these little milestones that might seem silly to people that don’t have kids that are really exciting to us.

'I think just watching her grow has been the most exciting thing, and when you start to see their little personalities develop. It’s really cool.'

The doting dad shared that he would be proud of his children no matter what they chose as a profession in the future, whether that's following in their parents' footsteps or picking a totally different path.

John does admit to being extra proud when his little girl plays an instrument.

'I want them to just find what they’re passionate about, commit to it and really get into it,' he explained.

'Whatever it is, I will support them. I love when Luna plays around on the piano and I love when she plays with the little toy microphone that my friend bought her for her birthday.

'So I get excited when it looks like that she’s following in my footsteps.

'But she’s also excited in the kitchen when Chrissy is cooking. She has her own little play kitchen, so who knows what she’s going to want to do when she’s older?

'Maybe she’ll be an engineer? Maybe she’ll be a computer programmer? I just want her to know that it’s all available to her and that we’re going to encourage her and support her no matter what.'

When it comes to relaxing, the singer admitted he loves sipping his Cabernet while watching reality television at home.

While the couple have yet to confirm the sex of their baby, in January Chrissy hinted that their second baby would be a boy.

'A little boy is next for sure,' Chrissy told Entertainment Weekly, in response to questions about plans to grow her family with husband John.

'We have one on ice,' she added. 'So I assume it's the boy.'
