Samantha Harris has maintained an impressive figure throughout her pregnancy with her second child, due in January. But the Entertainment Tonight correspondent, 36, gets by with a little help from a friend.

“My 3-year-old daughter actually does a very good down dog,” Harris tells PEOPLE of her yoga-loving youngster Josselyn Sydney.

“She’s interested in whatever Mommy’s doing. She actually knows my friend Patrick’s DVDs by name, so she’ll say, ‘Let’s do Patrick’s video.’ Or she’ll say, ‘Mommy, let’s turn this one off. Let’s do yoga instead.’ She knows [I] likes to exercise and she knows what exercise is, and she’s really great about helping [me] out when she can.”

Sean Astin: My Daughters Are Healthy and Beautiful

Life has changed a lot for Sean Astin since the Lord of the Rings craze quieted a bit in 2004.

But now, the trilogy is coming back to life for the actor in the form of a new video game, The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest.

“It’s weird, it’s like a dual feeling,” he tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies. “On one hand, it feels like it was a lifetime ago. So much has happened since then — I’ve had two more kids and worked on so many different movies. But it’s also like no time has passed at all.”

The family-friendly video game ($30 – $60), available on Nintendo Wii and DS, and Playstation, PSP and PS3, focuses on major movie moments and features Astin’s LOTR character, Samwise Gamgee.

“I got really excited because there was an emphasis on my character, and it’s always nice to be the center of attention,” he jokes.
