Ben Affleck was out on the town with his 2-year-old daughter, Violet. They were shopping in Hawaii on Wednesday without mom, Jennifer Garner. Ben was probably out buying stuff for Jen for their two-year wedding anniversary coming up on Friday.

Jennifer Garner says that she wants more children but not this year because she has to work. Right now she has a happy balance in her life and tells InStyle magazine that "I feel filled up at the end of every day."

She also tells the magazine in an interview that she loves everything about being a mother. "That surprised me – how much I loved [nursing] and how effortless it has been to pump anywhere in the world."

Garner's life with her husband ,Ben Affleck, and her 16-month-old daughter, Violet, has been wonderful. Garner says when she's away from her daughter, she feels like a "love-struck teenager." She feels the same way about Ben too. "He's a teddy bear of a guy. Nothing makes me happier than to see the two of them together and her little hands on his face."

Garner is currently working on a new movie called The Kingdom where she plays an FBI agent. She is also enrolled in an online political science class. Her goal right now is to shed her baby weight. "You're supposed to look a certain way when you're a celebrity, but I want to take care of my baby, and those two things don't mesh very well," she says in the interview.

Jennifer Garner, 34, and Ben Affleck, also 34, want to give one-year-old Violet a little brother or sister. In the latest edition of the British Marie Claire, Garner states "I'm assuming we'll have at least one more, but not for a while."

The couple wants their kid(s) to have a strong work ethic and not to take anything for granted. Garner says that she has learned to feel happiness and anxiety more deeply since having Violet.

I see you Violet! People caught Jennifer Garner being mom again! She played a game of peek-a-boo with daughter Violet, 1. The two spent the day in Santa Monica on Wednesday without daddy Ben Affleck.

"Having a baby fills your life in such a way that no matter what you're doing, there's something bigger," says actress Jennifer Garner about 1-year-old Violet. "I've just been in heaven being with her the past year."

Jennifer, 34, talks about motherhood, baby weight and hubby Ben Affleck, 34, in the new issue of PEOPLE.

On motherhood: I call my mom now and say, "You know all the dinners you made that I said 'No' to and went off and ate peanut butter? I'm sorry. I get it. I slaved over roasting this, and (Violet) goes, 'No, no, no!'"

Lessons learned: I was rocking her, and she was fascinated by the light hitting the ceiling. I thought, "God, for the past five years, I haven't stopped to look at light on the ceiling for (one) second." To slow down and go at her pace has been such a gift.

Losing the baby weight: It took me a long, long time. I just wasn't that motivated. I wanted to play with her. Then I got on the treadmill, stopped stuffing my face and lost the weight. I cut out croissants, bagels and muffins – all the good stuff. And went back to having a salad once a day and protein.

Ben Affleck on being a daddy: He does a good job. I mean, okay, maybe I wrote out what he was supposed to make for her (to eat) today while I was gone. But that's just me being paranoid. He's great – he can do it.

On their Mommy-Daddy bond: There's nothing more emotional than seeing your partner – the man you love – with your baby at any time: the first time, the second, yesterday, today. There's nothing more beautiful."

Ben Affleck wants to be a role model for his little girl Violet. He told USA Today, "I've never been very judicious about my own behavior or choices until they had an impact on people other than me. Obviously, my wife. And my daughter, who's going to have my last name – I don't want her to mutter it over a drink. I want her to be proud of her old man."

Ben, 34, and his wife Jennifer Garner never released photos of one year old Violet. He said, "We just didn't sell them – that was the thing."

"I'm extraordinarily lucky and privileged, and I've tried not to be bitter, but I have developed a reactionary defensiveness."

He added, "But for my child, she didn't make the bargain I did. She didn't make that choice. And I don't want her to have to pay for the parents' sins. I try to protect her privacy. I'll end up in the magazines, and that's life, and I can live with it, but I try to shield my daughter."

Actor Ben Affleck has been playing movie role after movie role. But his favorite role is being a dad to daughter Violet who turns 1 this December. While on the Ellen Degeneres Show, Ben, 34, talked about the possibility of having more children with his wife Jennifer Garner.

Ellen: "Will you have more? Should I ask that question?"

Ben: "You know … sure, I would love to."

Ellen: "Many? A lot?"

Ben: "Okay, let's back it up there." He then suggested that "some people" would want "five or six" kids and would "love to have a large family," but Ben told Ellen "I think I should probably talk to my wife before I talk to you."
