Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey have a newborn and a toddler, but (somehow) they've still got everything under control!

Daughter Brooklyn is 2 months old and son Camden is 2 years old, but as the dad told E! News Thursday, "It's not that crazy" in the Lachey household. "When you've had one, you kind of know a little better what to expect with No. 2!"

The Twix Peanut Butter spokesman pointed out that he and Vanessa "can kind of divide and conquer" with two kids, too. Admittedly, though, they realize they've "gotten lucky" as parents, because both Brooklyn and Cam "were both really, really, really good babies."

"I mean, she's doing great, sleeping great, and he was the same way," said the dad.

Camden was "a little skeptical at first of someone coming and stealing his thunder," said Nick. That didn't last long, though! "He's very protective. Like if Brooklyn's crying, Camden wants to make sure he lets us know that she's crying, and he wants to know why."

"I like that he's kind of getting his protective big brother instincts going already," said the host of VH1's Big Morning Buzz. "That's a good thing."

Sound like everyone's getting along quite nicely! So are Nick and Vanessa stopping with two kids, or are there more little Lacheys in their future?! "We don't have  a plan for a certain number," he said. "In some ways, it seems like two is the perfect number to kind of stop on, but any time you aim to plan with this kind of stuff, life has a funny way of throwing you curveballs, so who knows?...We'll just have to see where it goes!"
