“It’s an adorable baby,” Che says of the couple’s son, whose birth JostΒ announced in September.
Still, Che says he doesn’t have much of an interest in babysitting as “babies are fun for like a second.”
“You know, they don’t do much after you’ve looked at them and they’re just staring at you trying to keep their head on straight,” he says. “It’s like, ‘Get this wiggly thing away from me.’ ”
“I don’t like babysitting,” he adds, though he notes that he’s “actually a great babysitter.”
“I’ve been babysitting my whole life. I have nieces and nephews that are like three years younger than me. I’ve been babysitting them since they were babies. Since I was a baby, actually,” he teases.
As for his babysitting technique, Che shares, “I just let you cry until you’re sleepy.”
After PEOPLE confirmed that Jost and πΊπππππππ π±πππππππππ welcomed their first baby together in September, Jost then gave more insight about their new family of four.
“Ok ok we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much. Privacy would be greatly appreciated,” heΒ wrote on Instagram, then joking with hisΒ SNLΒ costar Che, “For all inquiries please contact our publicist @chethinks.” He also added the hashtags: “#wegotawaywithitforalongtime” “#nokidspolicy” and “#weregoingtodisneyworld.”
A source told PEOPLE at the time that Jost and Johansson β who is also mom to 7-year-old daughterΒ Rose DorothyΒ β are “both so happy andΒ madly in love with the baby.”
“They wanted this child who will fit right into their lives since they already have her daughter,” the source said. “They are an awesome couple, both talented, smart and clever. They will be the best parents. Colin is considerate and helpful in everyday life so adding one more to the mix should be fine. The baby is the best thing ever for both of them.”
