Once you hit 20 weeks you really should not carry anything over 20 pounds which I am sure Violet is. My OB said no heavy lifting after that point, Jen will be at that stage soon I think if she is 5 months pregnant as reported. I think she carries her around the paps and I do not blame her one bit, have you seen what some of them look like? Her main job is to keep Violet safe and she does that. Violet could be smiling all the time because her Mom has got to explain all the people with cameras to her and maybe she gives her a funny scenario to think of so that is why she acts that way. I know that is what I would do.

I’ve thought little Violet was the cutest baby almost since she was born. Everyone has hit the nail on the head about her – she looks like the happiest little girl in the entire world! And with Jen and Ben as such doting, loving parents, why wouldn’t Violet be the happiest child ever?!!? I’ve been hoping and hoping they would get pregnant again soon, 3 years is a perfect age difference! Not to mention both the Affleck’s and the Damon’s children are months apart, as the 2 still in the oven will be which I just think is so cool.

As far as Jen carrying Violet, I feel sure she gets lots of exercise running around where Jen and Ben feel that it’s safe for her. If I were a celeb with the paps following me 24/7 and I had a young child, I would carry them too. You just cannot be too safe these days, and with the paparazzi as crazy as they’ve become, as a parent you could never be sure one wouldn’t try to grab your child or get too close to snap a picture and scare your child to death! And as a couple of posters have said, unless there is a medical reason to prevent it, there’s no reason a pregnant woman can’t carry their older child while pregnant. I doubt Violet is heavy enough to put too much a load on Jen.

I just adore this family. I’ve always thought Ben and Jen were such a cute and perfect couple and when Violet was born, they just exuded so much happiness and so much love with each other and with their precious little girl. They all always look so darn happy and that makes me smile. This is one celebrity marriage I am really rooting for and would be just devastated if they didn’t stay married forever!

As cute as little Violet is, I do hope they have a boy this time!

Oh, the gap may fill in some with her permanent teeth, but will probably require braces to completely close it up. I think the gap in her smile is part of what makes her sweet smile just so darn adorable!!!!

She really is a cutie pie. I love that big smile of hers.

I carried my oldest around while pregnant with my second. He was 2 turning 3 when I had my second. Unless directed by your doctor for medical reason, or you feel strained, there’s no reason you have to stop carrying your other child if you don’t want to. My older one periodically still asks to be picked up, not to be carried but just to see or for hugs etc. He’s pretty heavy but I try to oblige him. There only little once so I figure why not.

I don’t get the comments about the walking. I carried my 3 year old daughter around when I was heavily pregnant, I don’t see the issue?
I think for celebs it is hard going anywhere, the paps are often flocking around them and holding your child is probably safest.

Just curious, when her baby teeth fall out and her permanent teeth fill in, will she still have that gap? Anyone know?

I think she is cute but.. is it a good thing that she seems to love the cameras so much?

That child looks to be a little ham. She is always smiling at the cameras. I guess it is good they don’t scare her. Maybe they don’t get all up in her face?

Anyway, looks like their might be another actor in the family. Could be…

Violet looks so happy! She is adorable and her smile is definatly infectious.

It’s nice to see the paps dont scare her – she’s rarely seen without that big grin directed to the cameras!

As for the walking thing. Especially with the paps about, its easier to carry the child (the Jolie-Pitts do it alot and have been slated for it too). Whenever I’m out and about with my cousins, they’ll walk so far and then get tired – especially if we’ve been shopping or to the park.

The further into the pregnancy Jen gets, the more likely it is she won’t carry Violet – but you never. =)

I love Jen-Ben-Violet’s pics! They are such a happy family! She’s a princess!!

V is soooo gorgeous!

But am starting to worry, does she ever WALK?
I reckon isn´t good for the pregnany either, at some point, carrying all that weight…

V is not a baby anymore and therefor should stop being treated like one! specially with a lil baby sis or bro on the way!!!!!!
