John Mulaney’sson Malcolm is processing the fact that he’s now a big brother.

“So he, at first, like — it was like when any new person comes into an organization, like when someone starts at work. He and I would sometimes break off to talk about her," Mulaney jokes.

“We were walking down the street once, and he looks up at me and goes, ‘Meimei is so weird.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, Meimei is really weird,' " he continues. “And then, sometimes, when she squeaks or does something, I’ll pull him aside. I go, ‘Come here.’ I go, ‘Did you see what Meimei did?’ And he’ll go, ‘She is so weird.’”

“He’s doing good. He likes it. It’s interesting, with our daughter, she’s 2 months old so she doesn’t do much,” the comedian told PEOPLE about his family life with Munn.

“And I think the first couple of weeks he thought she might be a toy because she’d squeak and he’d be like, ‘How do I make it do that again?’ Now I think he gets it, that this is a little girl, yeah.”

Mulaney and Munn shared on Sept. 22 that they welcomed a daughter named Méi June via gestational surrogate on Saturday, Sept. 14.
