Happy First Halloween!

Your baby’s first Halloween is one for the books, or at least scrapbooks and a few dozen pictures on Facebook. Will you choose a costume that is sweet and cuddly? One that will make everyone laugh out loud? Or a getup that is the perfect pop culture reference? We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites to kick off your Halloween inspiration. These costumes are cuter than any candy you’ll find trick or treating. Just remember, taking candy from your baby is acceptable. We call this the parenting candy tax.
