Aaron Paul is opening up about his son Ryden Caspian!

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at GQ’s Man of the Year Party in Los Angeles on Thursday, the actor, 44, revealed that his 19-month-old has reached some interesting milestones.

“My baby boy, Ryden, he's one and a half. He stopped throwing his food everywhere,” Paul tells PEOPLE. “So he's sitting in his high chair and he's eating it. Usually, when he's done, he just starts, just ripping it apart.”

Paul, who shares Ryden and daughter Story Annabelle, 5, with director and actress Lauren Parsekian, adds that, “it's amazing how far pasta can go in a kitchen. You know what I mean? It's like, 'Wow, that little cookie was small, and now it's everywhere. How did he do that?'"

Paul also tells PEOPLE that he’ll “never say never” about having more kids and that, “I love my babies.”

"My life truly started to have meaning for me when I started having babies," he adds. "I was scared to have kids, and thank God she [Parsekian] changed my mind. This is the greatest gift in the world."

Meanwhile, the Breaking Bad alum was glad to be able to socialize and catch up with friends at the GQ party on Thursday, despite admitting that he might look at photos of his children inside.

“This is always a really fun party. So yeah, it's just, I got two babies and I rarely get out,” Paul tells PEOPLE. “And yeah, I mean, I know I'm going to be looking at photos and videos of them inside, but yeah, it's good. It's good. I'm excited.”

Last month, Paul attended Drake's birthday celebration. The rapper hosted his 37th birthday at Casadonna in Miami.

Paul and his Breaking Bad costar Bryan Cranston posed for a snap with Drake and even poured drinks for guests as they appeared to promote their mezcal brand, Dos Hombres.
