I love little miss smile’s smile lol. In this picture Violet looks like she’s actually laughing making this one of my favorite recent pictures of Violet. And the fact that Jen isn’t all dolled up and still isn’t trying to hide makes this definitely one of my more recent favorite pictures also.

Devyn just for the record whenever Tom is out with Katie and Suri, Suri is being held. I have never seen a picture of ALL 3 where Suri is walking on her own, She’s always carried by either Katie or Tom.
Whenever Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are out and about together their smaller ones (and even older ones when the youngest aren’t there) are being held. Now while Angie was preggers with the twins I actually seen pictures of Shiloh walking (for a minute anyways before Angie picked her up).
Point being Jennifer isn’t the only one still holding/carrying her child even though said child is old enough and more than capable of walking on their own.

Other celeb Moms like Katie Holmes seem to let their kids walk a lot more and they also have to deal with just as many paps, if not more. It’s her choice so whatever she wants to do with her own kid is her business. It was just a observation. I have this feeling she’ll still be carrying Violet around when she’s 12. LOL

she is a fantastic mum and violet is always happy:)i hope she gets a boy

It’s so funny because every time there’s a picture of Jen and Violet it turns into the same discussion of Jen carrying Violet. What’s even funnier is that the reasons are obvious as to why she’s carrying her…paps, Violet’s safety, etc. Why do people keep hounding her? You’d think she was abusing Violet every day! Jen will have a new baby in a few short months and then she’ll have to carry the new baby and Violet will probably be walking. Let Jen enjoy her one-on-one time with Violet while she can! She’s ONLY 2 1/2…still very young. You’d think by some peoples comments that she was carrying around a 5 year old.

Not to mention that the paps are calling/shouting Violet’s name to get her to look at them. It must be overwhelming. And if she had to walk, they would all tower over her. That would be a scary thing for a child. Jen brings her up to their level and gives her a strong anchor.

guys i can kinda see why Jen carries violet alot. Look at it from her point of view…she s out with her toddler surrounded by paparazzi who are going to be more or less strangers and jostling each other for the best picture. Would you really want your little girl wondering around in the middle of this?

Stephany I agree with you
plus Violet is the cutest little girl in hollywood!
I can’t wait to see the new baby.

She’s stolen her mother’s smile for real in this photo! And she has the cutest dimples.

I carry my 2.5 year old quite a bit and I am 30 weeks pregnant. My belly is not that big of an issue and I figure it’s helping me burn a few extra calories and maybe keeping some of the excess weight off…hopefully! I don’t think it’s a big deal to be carrying you toddler at all. There are times when I am too tired or just don’t feel like carrying her and I just tell her that I am not going to carry her, but I will hold her hand and she listens to me without pitching a fit. Plus, I would be carrying her all the time if the Paps were hounding me!

Seriously, people. It’s ridiculous to believe that Violet is carried 24/7. Obviously, she is put down and able to explore and do things on her own. We can see this from the fact that Jen is always doing things with her (i.e., looking at flowers, art class).

I know I’d carry my daughter if I was hounded by pap’s (even if I had a bodyguard). It’s scary the lengths they’ll go to in order to get a simple picture.
