While Ne-Yo and Monyetta Shaw are expecting their second child together this fall, the couple are enjoying being parents to their 10-month-old, Madilyn Grace. Of his little girl, the singer/songwriter/producer recently told PEOPLE:

“[Maddie]‘s been trying to walk since she was two-months-old. She’ll grab your hands and pull herself up and do a little wobble dance. She likes scooting along the wall. She moves really fast.”

On what he’s trying to teach about self-worth, Ne-Yo said:

“She definitely knows her worth—which is a beautiful thing. That’s something I’ve tried to instill in her from day one: understand that you are a Godsend. You’re an absolute angel and people are supposed to treat you that way. She’s extremely diva even at 10 months.”

Overall, Ne-Yo is basking in the glow of fatherhood, telling PEOPLE:

“[Fatherhood] has been a ride, but I’m loving every minute of it.”

Depite a ‘rep’ for Monyetta telling Us Weekly that she and Ne-Yo are engaged, the “Miss Independent” singer later set the record straight via Twitter, saying:

“Ok twit fam. To put all rumors to rest. Not engaged but am expecting second child. Mo has no rep. The person claiming to rep her lied. Thanx for the interest in my personal. Know that the day I DO decide to take that step you will hear it from the horse’s mouth. Much love.”

Congrats on the bun in the oven anyway Ne-Yo!
