Baby Halloween Costumes

Halloween is nigh (ish) upon us, and if you (like me) don’t have your costume set upon, you need to get cracking. Since I don’t have mine decided, I’ve been looking at Halloween costumes for babies. Growing up, I think I only had one storebought costume (Supergirl, in case you’re wondering), and I’m pretty sure it was a) pajamas, and b) a hand-me-down. I wore the crap out of that outfit, as well as all ones that my mom either painstakingly or haphazardly made me. Once I got older and made my own costumes, I wore the crap out of them too, but that was more because I usually made them out of my own clothes or our dress-up chest, and I have always had a kind of… unusual fashion sense. In fact, just the other day, my mom “offered” to get me some clothes to wear to our Thanksgiving family reunion this year, because apparently I usually embarrass her with the clothes I choose. In the words of Stephanie “Step On Me” Tanner, how rude.

Anyway. Baby Halloween costumes. For the record, these are all adorable, but I do not condone prostitot costumes. Not kidding, I saw a baby showgirl costume. That’s disgusting, and also that baby kind of looks like Bat Boy. But don’t worry, parents and people who like adorable things, there are plenty of age appropriate and INSANELY CUTE costumes. Most of them are animals.

Doesn’t this one make you want need a skeptical Asian baby to dress up as a fluffy bear? If not, there is something very very wrong with you.

This is a really good example of the costumes that I like for kids (and for myself). Lots of the costumes that you’ll find for kids are based on Disney Channel characters or terrible-looking animated movies. This is just a cute baby in a squishy nom nom nomy panda suit. I want it so bad. The costume, I mean.

Sure, the baby’s face looks photoshopped in  (I  guess the original baby model wasn’t cute enough WHICH IS BLASPHEMY). But a baby in a monkey suit squeezing a stuffed monkey? Genius. Meta. Meta genius.

So maybe you don’t think of winged demons as real life animals, but I guess they don’t swoop outside your bedroom windows every night. Also this baby toddler is so happy and fun looking, I just have to tickle her tummy, even if she is a devil child.

Ah, the piece de resistance. I really don’t think I should have to say anything about this. UM HELLO BABY DRESSED AS AN OTTER. LOVE.

This one isn’t cute. It is a little, but mostly it looks like a dinosaur is eating that baby’s head. Not cute.
