Another dose of pink power is about to hit Coy Bowles’ household!

The Zac Brown Band member and his wife Kylie are expecting their second child, another daughter, his rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively. The baby girl is due in the spring, and will join big sister Hattie, 13 months.

“You think you have the most amazing life by having your dreams come true as a musician and marrying the woman of your dreams. But then you add a lil’ baby girl, our daughter Hattie Bowles, to the mix, and it’s like you’ve never really lived and loved until she was here,” Bowles tells PEOPLE.

“I can’t wait to have it happen again with baby girl No. 2,” continues the 38-year-old proud dad. “The whole family is super excited.”

The exciting news comes just over a year after the spouses welcomed Hattie, their first child, into the world — and the little girl’s first birthday blowout was definitely one for the books, complete with her own smash cake topped with a tiny pink flamingo.

Hattie’s dad has been busy, too. His band wrapped their 43-date Welcome Home Tour in late October, and Bowles is now gearing up to release his fourth children’s book. Titled Behind the Little Red Door, the story stokes young readers’ imaginations by encouraging them to use their creativity to figure out what is behind the book’s titular item.
