I mean, of course we are going to put Finn in a costume for his very first Halloween. But we also have to admit that doing so is a bit ridiculous.
The truth is, 0-3 months is probably the worst age for Halloween costumes. Since Finn can’t even sit up, yet, any costume he wears is going to be a shapeless blob.
Also, as much as we’d love to take him trick-or-treating just to have an excuse to collect–and eat–a bag full of candy, he’s just too little. The jig would be up. Everyone would know that the candy was for us.
Next year, at least we can pretend that he’s going to gum a piece or two.
Still, even if it is just for a photo to post on social media, we are going to dress our little guy up this year. We just can’t resist. And, since the selection of newborn-sized costumes is slim, I’m going to try to craft a Pinterest-inspired get-up.
Be prepared for an epic crafting FAIL. I just don’t have the patience to do this stuff well.
Since we’re talking about Halloween, here are some photos from our pumpkin-buying adventure–just because.
Finn had SO much fun. Can you tell? (When we were taking this photo, an older lady walked by and asked, “When are you going to stop torturing him?” “Never,” I answered.)
I think we’re almost to an age where he will actually smile for a photo or two!
Stay tuned. I’ll be sure to post photos of Finn in his first-ever Halloween costume, even if it is a hot mess.
Finn is so precious! I can’t wait to see his official costume. 🙂
For his first Halloween, I wore B on my back, put monster face hats on the two of us, and said we were a two-headed monster. All the trick-or-treaters loved it.
