"Hats, Hats, Hats"

There is a children's non-fiction book called "Hats, Hats, Hats" by Ann Morris. It depicts hats from all over the world. Tall hats, soldier hats, baseball caps, etc. Well, apparently, Brooks LOVES hats. His teacher told me that he loves to put all the dress-up hats on his head. I've seen it at home, too. If he doesn't have a hat, then he usually finds something else and pretends that it is a hat. I guess I need to go get some hats for him to play with. It's great, too, because when I want him to wear a hat when it's cold - he loves it and doesn't even take it off. I've also always loved him in hats. I think he looks absolutely adorable in a beanie (not that I'm biased or anything).
He's worn a lot of hats since he's been born...
The first time I saw him he was wearing a hat:

Coming home from the hospital he wore a hat:

One of my favorite pictures with Aunt Cari is one where Brooks was wearing a hat:

He wore a hat to his first baseball game:

He had a hat for Halloween and a hat for Christmas:


Some hats were knitted by friends:

Some hats were down-right silly:

And some hats were floppy, and perfect for the crazy/hot sun in Texas:

And lets not forget the infamous "naked baby in the cowboy hat" picture (although I cropped it a bit for this post):

Some hats almost seem like they were made to bring out my baby's beautiful blue eyes:

Here's an example of his recent excitement over hats:
