When it comes to picking a Halloween costume for your little one, it can feel like a monumental task—just ask new mom, Bella Harper. She decided to dress her baby, Emma, in not one, but eight adorable outfits because, really, how can you choose just one? Even if Halloween isn’t your top holiday, there’s no denying that kids, especially babies, look ridiculously cute in costumes.
Bella’s candid social media posts let us join in the fun of Emma’s costume parade. The first snapshot from last week captured Emma’s expression perfectly—a mix of confusion and resignation as if she’s already pondering, “Why me?”
I have to say, the next costume was a showstopper, but let’s be real: babies and fancy headdresses don’t mix well. Emma’s unimpressed face says it all.
Next up, Bella tried a classic Minnie Mouse look. However, she quickly realized she may have gone a bit overboard with the costume changes. This simpler outfit could actually win the day—adorably cute and not too complex for Emma, who seems to be thinking, “Mom, are we done yet?”
Then there was a charming Little Red Riding Hood ensemble. Thankfully for Emma, she’s learned that a well-timed pout can result in a quick wardrobe change. Her raised eyebrows communicated exactly what Bella needed to know: “Nope, not feeling this one.”
It seems like another Minnie costume made an appearance, but it’s hard to tell without the signature details. As Bella noted, it could use a bit more flair.
Movie buffs would love the next outfit inspired by “Grease.” While the Pink Ladies rocked their looks, Emma has her own squad and likely passed on this one too.
Bella saved the best for last: a hula girl costume complete with a delightful beach scene and toys! What kid wouldn’t want to wear an outfit that comes with its own playset?
Ah, the first Halloween—when your little ones are too young to have their own opinions, allowing us to dress them however we please! Parents of older kids are surely missing those days.
