aunt naomi and uncle matt bought jackson an awesome “old man hat” at an antique shop in downtown frederick when they visited during christmas. it must have belonged to a very small old man at one point, but now it fits our 2 1/2 year old quite well. and he loves to wear it.

whenever we leave the house — no matter if we’re going downtown, to the bank, or just in the backyard to play “hoop ball,” jackson wants to be wearing his hat.

he has been attracting quite a lot of attention, especially when he pairs it with his bright red chuck taylor hi-tops! (so many people stopped us on the sidewalk last weekend when we were out with friends downtown, we almost missed dinner!)

we must admit, our little guy is pretty darn cute — and the hat only makes him cuter. thanks n&m!
