Fun Ways To Dress Your Baby For Any Occasion

Does your little angel need a pair of wings? Would those chubby little cheeks look especially adorable as one of Santa's elves? Playing dress up is fun for older kids, but what about the baby? Infant costumes are popular at Halloween, but they can also be used during milestone photos throughout the year. Holiday photos are a great opportunity to show off your baby's cuteness in an adorable costume. Here are some costume ideas that will make your baby's first year one to remember.
