BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Proud mom Malin Akerman opened up about her 18-month son Sebastian Zincone while attending Saturday's Environmental Media Awards held at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif.

"I feel like every day is a milestone, but he's running and walking up and down steps on his own now talking three languages, so it's amazing," Akerman told People magazine of her son with estranged husband Roberto Zincone.

"Whenever he sees his dad he starts speaking Italian, he sees me and starts speaking Swedish, and his nanny speaks English. So, it's really just amazing to watch how a child's brain works."

Asked what shocked her the most about becoming a mother, the Comeback star said "everything and nothing."

"I still to this day, every now and then, wake up and go, 'I'm a mom? That's crazy! I'm responsible for a person's life? I don't know what I'm doing!' " said the 36-year-old star. "I guess the most surprising, although everyone tells you, is the love that you feel for your child. You need nothing else in the world but your child. That's it. He's the air that I breathe."

As for what she does at home to be eco-friendly, Akerman revealed she has solar panels and drives a hybrid car.

"We turn off light switches, which is very exciting for Sebastian because he loves turning off and on lights, so he helps me turn off the light switches when we leave a room," she added. "He's just tall enough to reach that."
