Halloween Baby Fun!

It's hard to plan your baby's first Halloween. Most people had spent their Halloweens doing decidedly adult things. Now that the baby if finally here, it does seem to throw a wrench in the Halloween-Party-Wheel.
Or does it?
There are lots of ways you can celebrate your baby's first Halloween that does not necessarily involve letting go of some of your established traditions. For example: An oldie, but a goodie, GO TRICK-OR-TREATING! Dress up your little one and go trick-or-treating with your little one. People love to see a baby in costume and parents will love the candy.
Another thing you can do is have a baby halloween party. Invite all of your little one's friends over and have a costume party. Make a photo booth, dress up as a family and take pictures. That way, you can do some PG, but still have fun.
Make homemade pumpkin baby food or other fall type flavors. It's easier and healthier than you think to make your own baby food. As long as you have a blender, you're set!
Decorating is always a fun family pass time. During one of the baby's naps, decorate the house with fall or halloween decorations. It will add a sense of festivity to your home. Get scented candles that remind you of fall or the holidays and light them in your home.
If none of these ease your halloween itch try putting on some halloween music and have a dance party with you and baby. They'll love the interaction and you can get some exercise in. You'll be surprised how fast you get winded after dancing a few songs with a twenty pound weight on your hip.
Dress up your little one to greet the trick-or-treaters that come to your house. Have him help hand out candy. That way he'll be exposed to a lot of different people and you get to show off his cute costume. Try checking out local fairs at the zoo or the community center. It may be good to get out of the house for a little while and have a fall walk. Or go to the mall and have your little tiger's portrait taken.
Whatever you choose to do, your halloween celebrating is far from over. Now that the baby is finally here it's only just begun!
