Guerins LOVE their headgear!

In my previous post, I wrote about Baby Maryn, who REALLY dislikes headgear.  Try as we might, we just could not convince her that head accessories are where it's at. 

Then, today, while I was browsing the photos of this year's Guerin Family Christmas, I noticed that we, on the other hand, love love LOVE our headgear!  Perhaps this is why I (though, I did not act alone...you other lovers of cute baby hats know who you are) desperately wanted Maryn to love her hats, too?  Perhaps, when Maryn looks back on those baby pictures and is appalled by the baby torture that occurred, she'll see that, genetically, I could not help it.

First, remember last year's Guerin Family Christmas pics?  Here's more wig fun for you (Jerry, Mark, and Comet needed to have their headshots added to the collection): 

Then, new knit headbands for the girls. 

Finally, fun with Sophie's new cowgirl hat (which we promptly hijacked, in true Guerin form...sorry Soph).

Baby Maryn

My friend, Megan, and I were in Colorado Springs last weekend to meet our friend (and Megan's sister-in-law), Abby's, new baby, Maryn.  While we were there, Maryn taught us a valuable lesson:

1 perfectly happy baby + 1 head accessory = 1 really mad baby

You'll see from the photos that it took us awhile to get the message.  (Those hats are just so darn cute, Maryn!  Why, oh why, won't you let us play dress-up?)

Here's Maryn, happily singing.

Then, the hat.

Here's what Maryn thinks of the hat.

So, we take it off, and Maryn is happy again.

Since she's so happy, we think, "Surely, she won't mind a headband."

But she does mind.

So, we take it off (and all her clothes, too, because there's nothing cuter than a naked baby), and she's happy again.

Just one more try, Maryn.  Perhaps you'll like the one with the bows?

Thinking about it...

Nope.

Poor Maryn.  We're sorry it took us so long to get it.  Now we know; you're not into headgear. 


*In her defense, Maryn actually humored us for quite a bit longer than I make it seem here.  Check out her super cute headshots on my Facebook page.
