Super dad Eric Hart wanted his infant son Collier to be brave in the hospital, so he made him a tiny Iron Man costume. Four-month-old Collier was born premature with underdeveloped lungs and has spent his entire life thus far in the hospital, so when Halloween approached, Hart decided to craft the teeny replica costume.
Hart explained in the video that he choose Iron Man because just like Collier, Tony Stark needs to be connected to machines to stay alive. The video shows dad creating the costume, scaling it down to baby size. The whole process took about four hours.
Finally, they're ready for the big reveal, as Collier turns into a true super hero. The tot is held in his mother's arms, wearing the adorable costume. (The mask was only on long enough to take a photo, and the nurses were nearby to make sure the baby was ok.) We're rooting for you, Collier!
Watch the touching video, and please SHARE with everyone you know.
Collier has been hospitalized since his premature birth in July.
His daddy, Eric Hart, wanted to make a costume to help his son "feel brave" while in the hospital.
Hart found a pattern online and scaled it down to infant size.
