Chris Pratt is turning to his talkative 2½-year-old son Jack for both wisdom — and a bit of parenting therapy.

The Parks and Recreation star, appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday, said his verbal son, who was born prematurely, has dazzled with his thoughtfulness, seeming to understand a lot of complicated things.

“He really is a remarkable kid,” Pratt, 35, tells Ellen DeGeneres, noting the so-called Terrible Twos has not happened at his house.

But, he adds, Jack, his first child with wife Anna Faris, is already telling it like it is.

“From what I understand, most of the Terrible Two stuff is the toddler’s inability to express what they want. They know what they want, but they can’t tell you because they don’t know the words yet,” Pratt says. “He’s so vocal that it’s not that hard for him.”

Zoë Saldana isn’t saying a word about her happy news — but with Chris Pratt by her side, she clearly doesn’t need to!

The Guardians of the Galaxy costars poked fun at the rampant pregnancy rumors during a stop at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, posing sassily with their hands on their hips and their bellies jutting out.

The joke comes after Saldana, 36, emphasized her growing bump in tight dresses during the movie’s premiere and press tour. Though she hasn’t commented, sources confirm to PEOPLE that the actress is in fact expecting.

“She’s absolutely stunning and glowing,” one insider tells PEOPLE.

Chris Pratt‘s son Jack is learning a lot of new words, but there’s one that stands out for the actor: “Dada.”

“I do have video of him saying ‘dada’ when I come on the screen,” the Parks and Recreation actor, 34, told PEOPLE at the show’s PaleyFest panel on Tuesday. “He knows a lot of words, colors, numbers. He’s very advanced for his age.”

Continued Pratt, unable to resist a good joke: “He also can type 90 words a minute, which is really good for an 18-month-old!”

After spending five months in London last year to film Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt had worried that Jack, his son with wife Anna Faris, wouldn’t remember him.

“He recognized me when I came home,” Pratt told PEOPLE in October. “I was worried that he wasn’t going to recognize me, but he recognized me from Skype.”

Talk about a dream come true!

If you were anything like us, you always wished your LEGOs could come to life. And now they are — on the big screen.

Starring new parents Chris Pratt (Emmet) and Elizabeth Banks (Wyldstyle) — we bet they had fun! — the new LEGO Movie is packed full of action but underneath the blockbuster-worthy special effects is the simple message that everyone is special.

Emmet starts off an ordinary guy until he meets Wyldstyle and her master builder crew — Vitruvious, Batman, Unikitty and more — and let’s just say that’s when his life changes forever.

And let’s not forget that every good kid’s film has to feature catchy tunes. In this case, it’s the can’t-get-out-of-your-head “Everyone Is Awesome” song.
