Anyone who's seen snaps of Jennifer Garner on one of her many jaunts to the playground with 16-month-old daughter, Violet, can tell she relishes every second of her poopy diaper-packed lifestyle.

So smitten is she with her smiley, be-dimpled tot that she gushes to the May issue of In Style that she feels "intoxicated" when she's with her. And when she's not? She's like a "love-struck teenager."

Garner, Ben Affleck's less lantern-jawed half, 35, says she doesn't "want to miss a second with Violet," which means she's still taking her sweet time whipping her body back into its bulging bicep-sporting "Alias" prime.

"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," explains Jen, whose lithe frame appears enviably free of any pregnancy poundage. "I feel like, OK, so I'm soft ... It's nice. I don't want to be just a hard body."

Despite the oodles of mommy-and-me time Garner spends with Violet, she says her tyke is definitely a daddy's girl.

"Violet prefers him to anyone," she enthuses to the mag. "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."

Alas, Garner is apparently overcome with so much domestic bliss that she inadvertently describes her rehab-grad hubby in terms usually meant to indicate a problem, not perfection.

"You know how as a kid you picture yourself with a tall, handsome husband, and you imagine him cuddling your baby?" she dreamily wonders. "Ben is like that, like, on crack."
