Subscribe: Photogenic Halloween Costumes for Your Boo-tiful Baby
To get in the Halloween spirit, Baby Mwah and I have been reading Halloween Treats: A Touch-and-Feel Book ($6.99)
Looking at these beautiful, heirloom-quality costumes inspired me to find a photogenic costume for Baby Mwah. It’s easy to see why the Wall Street Journal called Tom Arma “the Armani of the kiddy costume world.”
I plan to make baby’s first Halloween memorable with a fun infant Halloween costume that suits his budding personality. I’m going to pick up a matching costume for myself and join in the Halloween festivities.
Here are my favorite Halloween costumes from Halloween Express. For a chance to win a gift certificate from Halloween Express
, leave a comment telling me your favorite costumes for mom, dad, child or baby.
Tom Arma Black Cat ($49.99): A true Halloween classic. And I could dress up as either a witch or as a black cat too. With baby looking so cute, how could this sweet costume possibly be unlucky?
Tom Arma Monkey ($59.99): I’m absolutely bananas about my baby, so perhaps this is a fitting choice? I could dress as a banana, as the (wom)Man in the Yellow Hat from Curious George, or as Jane from Tarzan. As an added bonus, I could carry baby in my brown sling for hands-free convenience while treat-or-treating.
Tom Arma Butterfly ($59.99): This costume is breathtaking. I could dress like a flower or a twig. Or if I’m feeling even more adventurous, I could wear a sexy costume like a woodland fairy or autumn nymph. While I would feel spritely in the fairy costume, I fear that my baby boy might resent being dressed as a butterfly for his first Halloween when, as a young man, he looks at his baby book. He’s too young to object now, but I suppose I should take his future feelings into consideration. But if I had a girl, I wouldn’t be able to resist this costume.
Tom Arma White Rabbit ($59.99): 
Baby would look so cuddly as a fluffy white bunny. He loves to bounce and enjoys eating carrots, so this costume might make him “hoppy.” I’m a fairy tale fan, so I would enjoy dressing as Alice, the Queen of Hearts, or the Mad Hatter.
Tom Arma Lion ($59.99): Baby isn’t one bit cowardly, but he is king of the jungle (themed nursery). Since I agree that there’s no place like home, I would make a natural Dorothy. But I have memorized all of Glinda’s songs from “Wicked,” so being a Good Witch would be fitting as well. And who doesn’t want a “pop-u-lar” costume?
