Baby's First Halloween

  Halloween at our house takes more preparation than Christmas. There is months of planning for costumes, and how to decorate the yard to stand out. Of course you have to choose treats the kids will like, and you can afford. Everyone has their own idea of what to do, so we make this a family time of compromise and fun.

Most of us realize that your baby is not going to remember his/her first Halloween. They don’t even care what costume you put on them. This day is really for YOU, and your family to take pictures and show off your adorable bundle of joy! There are a number of adorable infant/toddler costumes that are sure to make great pictures.

For baby’s first Halloween, and especially if it’s your first Halloween as a parent, the showing off is the best part (although now you get to have treats all to yourself, while in the next few years you will have to share). A fun way to show off is to dress up in a family theme – like Popeye, Olive Oyle and Sweet Pea celebrate-milestones.com/inposwpeaco.html. You can choose a theme and let your whole family dress to match. So many costumes have adult and child versions, and the selection is amazing.

No matter whether you are going to a party, or simply trick-or-treating door-to-door, Halloween isn’t the same without dressing up and eating goodies. Enjoy your day!
