Gardiner Anderson/Carlos Vila/Bauer Griffin

Violet Anne Affleck points something out to mom Jennifer Garner as the pair leave the Children’s Museum of the Arts on Saturday in Manhattan. The pair spent the day out and about while dad Ben Affleck prepared for that evening’s Saturday Night Live episode.

Jennifer and Ben, both 36, expect their second child this winter. Violet will be 3 on December 1st.

Oh Violet is such a cute little lady!! Props to Jen, who I think is one of the greatest celeb moms out there! Her sweet little girl is NEVER without a smile. I cant believe that Violet is going to be 3, yet she looks older! Congrats to the happy family on expanding their family!! Jen and Ben — you guys are great!

Violet seems like such a bright child and it is really wonderful to see her parents indulging and encouraging that behavior with museum visits, zoo trips and the like. That little girl is just so excited and enthusiastic. She is lucky to have such caring parents. And they are lucky to have her!

She looks tall for her age – but look at her hands. She is still holding her Mommy’s one finger with her whole hand. So cute!! Whenever I see this cutie pie, my ovaries go into hyperdrive. Yikes!

Amanda, sorry honey I didn´t get your post, lol!

I want a little Violet for myself, she is so pretty.

My son is always so serious, but that really suits him as the smile suits Vi.

Violet is such a content looking well adjusted child, props to both parents for being involved with their daughter and not to let a nanny raise her. She is a beautiful child for sure, probably the cuties celeb baby out there right now

Is it just for me or Jen bump is too small for being nearly 8 months pregnant?I rembember a photo of Jen at the Emmy in 2005.It was September,and she was 6 months pregnant but her bump was bigger a lot!Maybe she is due in January bacause also January is on winter,we aren’t sure of her exact due date.What do you think?

- SARA on November 3rd, 2008

Aww Violet looks so tall and bright!!

- Alice on November 3rd, 2008

This photo just oozes sweetness. Violet with her dimples and cute curiosity and Jennifer with such a content smile on her face. I LOVE IT!

Violet is so cute. I love the Affleck family. I wonder what Jen orders from Starbucks?

Jen is definitely carrying smaller with this pregnancy. She said last time she really indulged her cravings and paid for it later by having a hard time losing the weight so I’m not surprised she is watching it this time. Great photo they are always so happy.

Jen and Violet are both VERY cute!

- Jane on November 3rd, 2008

I love these two – they always look so happy together.

Kids today seem to be bigger than my generation was – not necessarily fatter, but taller and just bigger! My cousins’ kids are all bigger than we were when we were their ages too.

I love that she is out and about every day with Violet, just taking her to and from school and to places that will stimulate her brain at weekends, museums, zoos, libraries, markets etc. I don’t have children yet but there are some Saturdays when I can barely drag myself out of bed! I guess when you have kids you can’t be as lazy as me!

I wonder if Violet smiles in her sleep? (Just kidding) Seriously, that little girl is always smiling. She is so adorable. I can’t wait for baby #2. Jen is glowing in this pic. She is carrying that baby in her three “B’s” (boobs, bump & butt). lol

- Rosy J on November 3rd, 2008

Aww, as usual little Violet is gorgeous!
I have to say though… I am SO SO jealous of people that live in or near cities such as NYC or the like, for the cool artistic/cultural/intellectual opportunities and stimulation for children (and adults). Where I live, there is nothing like this! Lucky ducks!

- Aurora on November 3rd, 2008

Angie – it means that seeing this little girl makes me want a child!

- amanda on November 3rd, 2008

We don’t know exactly when she is due. Winter is from 21 December to 21 March … Plus of course she would be putting less weight on, she as a toddler to look after ! Violet is very cute, and I can’t wait to hear their choice of name.

Any ideas where Violet’s vest is from? It is adorable!
