Hailee Steinfeld is looking forward to the holidays with her little one.

The Sinners actress, 29, sat down with Extra to talk about her new animated film Hexed, where she voices the lead character Billie Doe. During the conversation, Steinfeld opened up about how she and husband Josh Allen are planning to make the holidays a “little extra special” this year for their baby girl Harper, 7 months.

“The prep and the cooking and all that, it’s fun until it’s not. It’s a lot of work,” she admitted before adding, “This is my first holiday with a baby though, so we’re excited to make the holidays a little extra special this year.”

Steinfeld is learning so much about herself as she navigates motherhood. The loving mom recently opening up about the unexpected thing she learned since welcoming Harper in April.

“There’s a long answer, but I’ll give the short one here: I’ve learned just how much of myself I still have to discover,” she wrote in the Friday, Nov. 6 edition of her Beau Society newsletter. “I thought becoming a mom would be this transformative experience about loving someone else, and it is that 1000%. But what I didn’t expect is how much she’s teaching me about myself.”

Steinfeld added, “She’s made me more patient, more present, and so much more aware of how special the little things are.”

Becoming a mother also gave Steinfeld a “whole new understanding” of the mother-daughter dynamic. The Hawkeye star recently told PEOPLE at the world premiere of Disney’s Hexed that her daughter changed her perspective on certain things.

“I gained so much perspective so quickly on the mother-daughter relationship,” she said. “I just gained a whole new understanding for it.”

“I’m only seven months in, and I fully understand Alice in this movie and even Celeste for that matter,” Steinfeld added. “There’s this constant battle of wanting to protect and shield and guard, but also push and encourage to just be your best self and do everything you know as a mother your baby is capable of doing.”
