Is this your baby's first Halloween? Well congratulations! There is nothing cuter than Halloween pictures of babies on their first trick or treat day, even if they care very little about the actual trick or treating. Of course, it's still fun for mom and dad to go out and celebrate Halloween with baby, too. Here are some amazingly cute costume ideas for your little baby boo.

Baby Girl Costumes

There are so many adorable new Halloween costumes for baby girls this year! Simply go to your favorite online costume store and search under some of these keywords to check out the cute choices. New infant costumes for 2009 include a Strawberry, Rainbow Baby, Pumpkin Princess, and Pink Poodle. There are tiny fairy costumes for baby girls (look for Valerie Tabor Smith costumes), as well as Lady Bug, and since Star Wars is hot- look for the adorable Baby Princess Leia costume.

Baby Boy Costumes

Costumes for 2009 that will be adorable on baby boys include Baby Alligator, Baby Penguin, Lily Pad Frog, Baby Monkey, Baby Vampire, Curious George and of course Baby Spiderman and Baby Batman. Also new this year are the Baby Star Wars Clone Wars costumes for infants.

Funny Costumes

There are many adorable baby costumes this year that are also funny. There's a Baby Whoopie Cushion, Baby Travelocity Gnome, Baby Car Air Freshener, Billion Dollar Baby, Smarties Bunting, Pizza Bunting (with Chef Hat!), Hot Dog Bunting, Junior Mints and Wonderbread. Also, the Baby Elvis costume and Baby Peeps costumes are really funny!

More Cute Baby Costumes

Peas in a Pod, Baby Bee, Puppy, Teddy Bear, Baby Cow, Elephant, Lion (you can pretty much find any animal in an infant costume size) Raggedy Ann and Andy, Care Bears, and the new Baby Piggy in a Blanket costumes are all sweet and would make for great photos.

Tips for Choosing Baby Costumes

If you are going to be taking the baby trick-or-treating (mom and dad may as well get some candy loot!) think about keeping the baby warm. Blanket sleeper costumes are great for infants who are lying down but can be tricky for a baby who wants to sit up. Let your baby's size help you choose his or her costume, as there are many available for babies of different sizes ad sitting abilities.

Baby Halloween Photos

One great idea for getting photographs of your Halloween baby is to set up the 'photo shoot' on a day earlier than Halloween and at a time when the baby is in a great mood. That way, if the baby is tired or cranky on Halloween itself- it won;t matter, because you will have already gotten your shots!

Most of all, have fun!
