Brad Paisley Says Second Son Has Fewer Complaints

Second child syndrome is alive and well in the Paisley household!

So says dad Brad Paisley, admitting to PEOPLE Moms & Babies that at just one year, son Jasper Warren is “a better kid” than his older brother William ‘Huck’ Huckleberry, now 3, was.

“The second kid just kind of takes the table scraps and doesn’t complain as much,” he notes.

“They instantly feel their place. They’re not the center of the universe so much.”

When the circumstances call for either boy to be disciplined, the country singer, 37, says that he’ll often take turns with actress wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

“We’re both pretty strict,” he observes. “I like to think that we both have a lot of the same outlook.”

Spotted: Henry Driver Makes a Wish!

Splish splash! Henry Story Driver, 19 months, parks it at the fountain at Cross Creek in Malibu, Calif. on Saturday, where mom Minnie Driver handed him coins to throw into the wishing well.

Little Henry certainly seems to be a water baby — we recently saw some great shots of him and Minnie down by the shore!

Trista and Ryan Sutter on Max’s Stitches Situation

When it comes to parenting approaches, Trista Sutter and husband Ryan Sutter couldn’t be more different.

However, the couple tell Babble that they “balance each other out” to the benefit of their son and daughter.

“I’m more of a protector; Ryan would probably say I’m a bit overboard,” the former Bachelorette, 37, confesses. “I worry too much, whereas he thinks if they fall and bump their heads, that’s a learning lesson.”

At no time was that dynamic more apparent than when Maxwell Alston, 2½, was accidentally scratched by the family dog around his first birthday.

“He had to get stitches,” Trista — also mom to daughter Blakesley Grace, 1 — recalls. “I freaked out, but Ryan turned into the firefighter that he is and scooped up Max and took him away, totally calm.”

“In situations where there’s some sort of danger, he’s definitely the one who steps up to the plate because I lose it in a crying, motherly sort of way,” she adds.

Party time!

Kate Hudson totes 2½-year-old nephew Wilder Brooks while son Ryder Russell, 6, walks alongside as she leaves a birthday bash for the boys’ friend, held at a laser tag center on Saturday in Los Angeles, Calif.

Maybe the actress was giving her older brother Oliver Hudson a break — he and wife Erinn Bartlett welcomed their second son, Bodhi Hawn, four weeks ago.

Looks like Shooter Jennings and Drea de Matteo‘s little rocker wore herself out!

The musician and his actress fiancée — who just wrapped her role as Angie on Desperate Housewives — took their daughter Alabama Gypsyrose along to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held over the weekend in Indio, Calif.

Alabama, 2, was spotted dancing along to the tunes, but she got a bit tuckered out by the time this photo was snapped!
