“They grow so fast. I know that is so cliché to hear, but my littlest is 6 months now, and our other one is 2 years,” Rhett told Us at the Grammy Awards, which were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. “So, it’s fun to watch them grow and form into their personalities.”

While Ava has “just started rolling over,” it appears that Willa Gray is beginning to teach her country singer dad a thing or two.

“She blows my mind every day, she’s literally the smartest,” Rhett revealed to Us. “I don’t know many 2 year olds, but I feel like she’s extremely smart and she just continues to blow my mind every day. So, we’re having a blast being parents.”

In January, Akins, 28, told Us Weekly that while it may be “hard” having two little ones so close in age, she definitely wants more kids. In fact, she wants a “full house,” and it appears she may get her wish.
