Angelina Jolie takes Zahara and Shiloh Princess dancing!

kim- I could be totally wrong about this, of course, but my guess is that Shi changed out of her dance shoes and into the soccer shoes before they left the dance studio. Perhaps she doesn’t like wearing the dance shoes any longer than neccesary! :)

Victoria- I understand what you mean. My dad comes from a family of three kids, and he is the middle child. His siblings were both fairly “high-maintence” (in otherwords, they were a handful and got into trouble a time or two). He, on the otherhand, was very laid-back, quiet, and easy-going. As a result, he often got less attention than the other two. My grandparents certainly weren’t trying to give him less attention than the other two, but it just worked out that way. Luckily, my dad is none the worse for the wear, and in fact has very fond memories of his childhood! :)

Kati- I’d like that, too (if they released a photo of the twins), but I doubt they will, as the only times they’ve ever released photos of the kids were when Shi and the twins were born, the photoshoot in Cambodia when Shi was about six months old, Pax was adopted, and the W Magazine pictures (and the kids only appeared once each in that shoot, and three of them-Zee and the twins- you couldn’t even see much of because either their backs were turned toward the camera, or, in the case of one the twins, Angie was nursing him/her and all you could see was a little hand sticking up above her chest.).

I think the next time we’ll be seeing any offical pictures of the kids will be when Jolie-Pitt kid number 7 joins the family. :) As for pictures of the twins…I’ll bet anything that the next photo we see of them will be a paparazzi photo!

The pictures are cute. Shiloh looks like she has been in the sun this summer – she has a little tan over the bridge of her nose and cheeks. Zahara looks gorgeous. And she seems less worried by the photographers than she has in the past. I think that past 12 months have probably done the children good, as they’ve be more or less out of the spotlight that whole time, spending time with their family in privacy and space. A year is a long time when you’re only four. I’m sure they’ll become more comfortable with the drama that will inevitably (unfortunately) surround them in public as they get older, as long as their parents set a good example by remaining calm as they go about their business.

Like the posters above, I’d absolutely love to see a picture of Knox and Vivienne as their first birthday approaches! Even a quick snap from far away would be exciting. Still, there’s something delicious about the fact that the only people in the world who know what those babies look like are their parents, siblings, and friends. The last time the public got a glimpse, they were little pudgy dots of six months old. We couldn’t even really see if they had hair, or what color it was. (Knox seemed to have blond hair, but Viv had a beanie on). They will have grown tremendously since then and are probably starting to turn into little toddlers with their own personalities and looks. For Brad and Angelina to have kept that private for the first whole year of their babies’ lives is quite a feat.
