Like father, like son!

Jessica Biel says her and Justin Timberlake's only child, toddler son Silas, "is a ham, just like his dad."

"A serious ham," she said about the boy, who recently turned 1, in a recent interview with NBC's Today show. "He think everything is funny. He thinks sneezing is really funny. He's in that moment—bodily function is really funny."

"We do a lot of like, yard hangout," Biel said. "You know, like picnic blanket on the yard, music, books everywhere, crawling through the grass, that kind of stuff."

And speaking of music, it'll be a few years before the boy can make that special connection to Timberlake's.

"He hasn't really seen him on stage or anything like that and I think once he sees that and connects that dot, then when we play the music, I think he's gonna realize, 'Oh, that's Daddy up there,'" Biel said.

Biel made her comments while hosting an event with Baby2Baby, a group that provides low-income children with diapers, clothing and other necessities, and stationary company Tiny Prints at her restaurant Au Fudge in Los Angeles. This marks the companies' fifth "play date.'

The actress said motherhood "changes your perspective massively."

"It does change things because you have a first-hand experience as to how difficult it is to have a kid—how many diapers they need a day, how many wipes you use, how much they eat or how much you prepare that they don't eat," she said.

Biel and Timberlake celebrated Silas' first birthday last month.

"I made him his cake and he look at it and he wanted nothing to do with it," she told E! News.

She also talked about the most "magical moment" she experienced as a mom.

"Probably when the moment when wakes up from a nap and he's sort of looking around...and he looks up and he looks up and he goes...just a gummy mouth, no teeth, just a big smile," she told E! News. "Happy that you're alive and you're looking at him."
