Josh Duhamel and Fergie

Josh Duhamel's baby son has already learnt to swim.

The 41-year-old actor is overcome with emotion when he thinks about how fast 13-month-old Axl, with whom he has with his wife Fergie, is growing up.

Speaking to PEOPLE.com, he said: "He's already swimming around in the pool, and I was like, 'What the hell happened to my baby?' He's walking all over the place, talking. He's a toddler now!

"It happens quick. Next thing you know, they're going off to college. So that's one thing I've really taken to heart, trying to be there as much as I can."

However, the 'You're Not You' star admits that, although he's proud the little one is hitting milestones, Axl has already worked out how to test his patience.

Josh said previously: "They get to a certain age and they start to test you a little bit.

"He likes sticking his fingers in holes. So he'll stick his finger up my nose. I'll be like 'no you don't do that.' Then he'll stick it up his nose. And he thinks it's funny."

Meanwhile, despite being keen to be a hands-on dad, the hunky star prefers to let his wife, whom he married in 2009, lead the way when it comes to changing stinky nappies because she's now a "professional" at it.

He explained: "In the beginning it was me, but she has improved her diaper changing skills in the last year. It's very impressive. She's as good at it as I am now.

"I had two younger sisters, so I had a lot of practice growing up. She had never held a baby before we had our little guy. Now, she's a professional."
