Finally, my own little tip for baby costumes: PAJAMAS. I read this tip somewhere when Alex was a baby, but after I'd already bought him a Superman costume (which Tyler will be wearing this year). Last year, I bought Superman pajamas, and they were more comfortable and just as cute as a real costume (complete with cape), not to mention $7 cheaper. Now that Alex is old enough to prefer Spiderman to Superman, I picked up $12.99 Spiderman pajamas for him to wear this year. They have webbing at the arms, which makes them costume-like, and we won't have to worry about a mask that he won't want to wear anyway. Plus they'll be comfortable and without the silly puffy chest that's become ubiquitous in boys' costumes.
