The morning after she hosts the seventh season premiere of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, how does Samantha Harris plan to celebrate? By throwing daughter Josselyn Sydney Hess a first-birthday party! "We're going to have a little party at a place that's a kids' spa," Samantha, 34, told PEOPLE at Tuesday's Eagle Eye premiere in Hollywood. "She's a little young for the mani-pedi, so I think we're just going to have some fun Fisher-Price toys to play with, and a lot of other toddlers coming. It will be her first time having cake and ice cream. It will be fun for pictures."

Samantha spent the summer as a correspondent for the E! network, and was also able to take some time off with Josselyn. "Seeing her smile and giggle, and learn new things each and every single day -- it's incredible how quickly at that young age," she shares. "To think that a year ago, before the Dancing season premiere I was giving birth, and how quickly a year goes, it's fun." Samantha says she does plan to bring Josselyn to the Dancing set for some visits this year.

As for talk of more children? The hostess -- who comes from a two-child household -- says that for now, she and husband Michael Hess are putting her career first. "Thankfully, things are so busy with Dancing with the Stars and E!, that it's a really exciting time in my career. I think down the line we'd love to expand the family. But right now we're just enjoying Josselyn and the time getting to know her as she grows up a little girl."
