Jennifer and Violet's Good Will Gift Giving

Limelight Pictures

Jennifer Garner brought a wide-eyed Violet Anne to the Jewish Federation Goldsmith Center on Sunday morning, where they reportedly participated in a gift drive. Violet, 3, clutched her mom’s hand as they brought bags of wrapped gifts into the center.

Jennifer, 36, who will welcome her and husband Ben Affleck‘s second child in the coming weeks, recently told American Baby that she has cravings, but they’re not because she’s expecting!

"I always have cravings. It doesn’t matter if I’m pregnant or not! Iuse pregnancy as an excuse to say I’m craving ice cream and chocolate,but really, that’s just me."

She looks very very ready to have the baby! she seems to have dropped! and look everyone! Violet can walk! haha just kidding but I know there will be a thousand comments on that- since there always are! I cannot wait to see the newest member of their family!

They are a beautiful mother-daughter duo! I have a feeling that baby will be here before the end of the year. She has definitely has dropped in the past few days. For some weird reason (maybe luck!) I’ve been able to accurately predict genders, but I’m stymied on this one. It will be exciting to find out what she’s having and the name!

to me it looks like she is going to have that baby very very soon, maybe tomorrow?

This is so nice of them, Jennifer is setting a great example for her daughter. Violet is adorable as always,
Jen’s belly is sooo cute.

Absolutely charming.

LOL, I haven’t really seen much of the bump so I wouldn’t know too much of whether Jennifer is carrying lower or not thesedays.
I think it’s a boy as well, and that the baby will have a December birth date.
I wish the little one would just hurry up now!!!!!
Can’t wait to hear their news!

I agree–she looks like she’s about ready! I like her “cravings” comment–I’m like that, too, although early on this pregnancy, I couldn’t stand any sweets. so wierd!

- Shelby on December 15th, 2008

im thinking it’s a boy, but hoping its another girl!

- Rye on December 15th, 2008

Well Naomi Watts gave birth first, but I’m sure Jennifer’s baby will be here by Christmas time.

I’m thinking-boy

Can’t wait to find out the details.

I’m not into reading unreliable blogs but according to one blog not on this website she knows the sex of the baby, and it is a boy and she is due this friday. I dont believe unreliable sources just stating what it said. Anyways Violet is gorgeos as is Jen and he tummy has dropped

- Lisa on December 15th, 2008

another baby girl named Daisy

- A on December 15th, 2008

Jen has GOT to be due around the same time as me (Jan 9th) Our bumps look exactly the same and are growing (and dropping!) together. Since I’m having a boy I’m calling BOY on her, lol. Vi is looking sweet and cute as always, I just want to kiss her!

- Lilliness on December 15th, 2008

I’m thinking if she has a boy they’ll use Victor for either the first or middle name, in honor of her friendship with Victor Garber

- Heather on December 15th, 2008

My birthday’s on Saturday–it’d be so cute to share it with new baby Affleck!

- Caroline on December 16th, 2008

Lilliness, I think you on to something. On Access Hollywood tonight, Ben said he was having a baby in January and with a newborn, it was unlikely he would attend the inauguration. However, I think that baby might surprise all of us and make an appearance before then. I am so excited, you’d think I was having a baby lol.

Oh and congrats and best wishes to you Lilliness.

- Rosy J on December 16th, 2008

I hope she has a girl, especially since Naomi Watts just had a boy (it seems like all the big stars are giving birth to boys these days)!

- CelebBabyLover on December 16th, 2008

That’s a BOY in there!

- Louise on December 16th, 2008

If I had to put money on it then I would say Jen knows the sex of the baby.

- kelpy on December 16th, 2008

You can’t tell what she’s having BY THE SHAPE OF THE BELLY!It’s the same story every time:”It’s a boy belly”
or”It’s carrying high,so she’s having a girl”Where it’s written?Anyway Violet is so cute and Jen has still a few weeks left(I think an early January due date for her)If I have to be honest I’m hoping a bit for another girl since everyone are having boys.

- SARA on December 16th, 2008

I think this one will be a 2008 baby. Sweet! She does look like she’s dropped. Maybe a Christmas baby for Ben and Jen and little Vi?

I think she’s having a boy. I’m very anxious for this baby and what they’ll name him or her!!!

- Stephany on December 16th, 2008

I’ve got a feeling it’s a boy, and I hope he looks like Ben because then there’ll be a mini-Jen and a mini-Ben!

- phoebe on December 16th, 2008

That little baby looks ready to arrive–I’m sure he/she wants to be home for Christmas!

- Jen on December 16th, 2008

Yes, she’s definitely dropped. How exciting for them. I watched 13 Going on 30 over the weekend and I just love her in that. FWIW, I carried almost the same way with both of my full-term babies one ended up with one of each so how she’s carrying really doesn’t tell us anything. ) Good luck to them!!

- Shelly on December 16th, 2008

She looks like she is dropping. Her belly reminds me of Bridget Moynahan here.

- Brandi on December 16th, 2008

Rosy, I saw that too so maybe Jen’s due later than we all think. She’s probably due the first week or two of January. Didn’t Violet come a week or so early?

- Devon on December 16th, 2008

She’s my favorite.

- Terri on December 16th, 2008

Oh hey, Violet is walking! It just seems every time there is a picture of her she is being toted by a parent. I’ve not seen any pictures of her walking so this is a real treat! She looks so pretty in that picture, and boy does Jennifer look ready to have the baby in the next couple weeks or so!

- DLR in Canada on December 16th, 2008

She is all belly! This is a great picture of Jennifer and Violet. Jen does look about ready to have that baby any day now. And as you see Violet does walk when the paps aren’t directly in her face.

- Bancie1031 on December 17th, 2008

Violet is such a precious little girl. I can’t help but smile whenever I see a picture of her – she seems like such a sweet, happy child with joy just spilling out of her. And, of course, her loving parents are to thank for that
