Come on, indeed! The entire situation, and the adorably named penguin, is just too sweet.
The couple, who met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight and were married in 2009, were told that they needed to be prepared to raise a "special needs child" when Jack was born nine weeks premature. Luckily, Jack grew up to be a healthy boy and has no limitations outside of having to wear glasses.
Back in May, Chris shared another adorable moment with his son. Watch the video below to see the two recite the Pledge of Allegiance together.
