MOVING VIOLATIONv
But Sean P's year hasn't been without road bumps. Spears came under scrutiny when she was photographed in Malibu driving away from a swarm of paparazzi with her then 5-month-old on her lap. After the U.S. Secretary of Transportation called her actions "irresponsible," Spears explained to PEOPLE: "I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

BIG POPPA
Sean Preston (in a personalized jersey) gets a lift from proud dad Kevin. "Sean P ... that's my boy," Dad told Access Hollywood. "I get up in the morning with him and he's, like, all ready to play and stuff!"

SUPPORT STAFF
The tot's already got an entourage! Grandmother Lynne Spears and bodyguard Perry Taylor (a.k.a. "The Manny") are on call whenever Britney needs a helping hand. Taylor, a U.S. Naval Academy grad, is frequently spotted out with the family – but he's not a nanny. "He's protecting Britney and he's protecting the child," a close source tells PEOPLE.

MOUTHING OFF
A month away from delivering her second son, Mama Spears (here shopping with sister Jamie Lynn in Agoura Hills, Calif.) keeps her eyes – and sense of humor – focused on her firstborn.

TRICK HIS RIDE
Forget baby steps! Fifteen years away from getting his driver's license, and Sean's already got a mini Cadillac Escalade to practice on while his mother gets busy recording new tracks. "I've been going to the studio lately, and we've been trying out different nannies, but it's hard," Britney says of being a working mom. "It's personal because this person is with your child every day. I'm so torn right now."

BIG BROTHER
He's only 2, but he's already an older brother: Britney, who announced that she was pregnant again on The Late Show with David Letterman on May 9 (left), welcomed her second son on Sept. 12 – just two days shy of Sean's birthday, and four days before her second wedding anniversary. "It's going to be weird," she tells PEOPLE of the timing. "But I love it."
