Steinfeld is in awe of how quickly the time has flown. She has received advice that told her to temper expectations, they told her, “You will be convinced your child is a genius when they're doing things on track.” However, she is still amazed and convinced her daughter is a “genius” because she's already crawling.
“She is six months, and I feel like she's six months and also four weeks and also five years old,” Steinfeld admitted. “Time is crazy, how it works. She is totally on the move, crawling around.”
