As a new mom, I definitely feel the pressure. You want what's best for your kid... and that includes a rockin' cute Halloween costume. But it's the day before Halloween, and all I have are a few half-baked ideas and a duck costume.
The duck costume, which we borrowed from one of Wayne's coworkers, is actually very cute, but I was trying to come up with something clever. Something original. Something outside the box a little that will cause others say, "What a GREAT costume!" I'm inspired by one mom friend who dressed her newborn as a piece of nigiri sushi, complete with a ribbon wasabi dollop on her head. Or the photo I saw of a baby chippendale who was donned in nothing but a bow tie and diaper with dollar bills tucked in. See, that made you chuckle, didn't it? Super cute and clever!
I'm sure we'll all ooh and aww no matter what, because the great thing about babies is that they look cute in everything, but I have a little bit more time. Let's see what I can and have the energy to actually crank out! ... Though that duck costume is looking mighty adorable... and quick and easy right about now.
duck...
duck...
Goose!

Hahaha! Duck duck goose, indeed :)
I love the duck costume. I don't think he's physically capable of NOT being adorable.
I could've written your blog post because that's exactly how I was feeling, too!! I love Halloween but didn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume. We've decided that Miles will be a Viking, since he already has a really cute knit Viking beanie. I made a really simple furry vest, which he'll wear over a black outfit with some more fur trim and twine. Hopefully it'll all come together. The hard part about this age is that the costume has to work with the baby just sitting in a stroller. I also made an adult version of the Viking hat for either Matt or me. Can't wait to see what you end up deciding for Caedmon, although he's super cute as a duck!
