I thought Kirsty Hume’s daughter was named Violet?

Sarah’s note: I’m actually not sure. Some places have Lilac and some have Violet. Anyone know which is right?

Please, someone teach this woman how to hold little girls appropriately. Poor Lola. Denise must be furious, Brooke isnt a first time offender.

Sam looks just like Denise. And the pic of both girls sucking their thumbs is priceless. What little sweethearts!

It’s definitely Violet. Violet Jean. I remember two articles on Kirsty in 2005 – Harper’s Bazaar and Organic Style – where she talks about her daughter Violet, and there’s a link to this article

Lola’s been recently potty-trained? I must have missed an interview or something!

Whoops! Seems I didn’t miss an interview after all. I just noticed that Lola’s panties are showing in the above picture. That’s how we know she’s been potty-trained.

These girls are so cute and are going to grow up to be stunners. They have clearly inherited the best of both parents.
