Monkeying around for Halloween

We weren't originally going to dress Jonah up for Halloween, but at the last minute (Ok, it was just over a week before Halloween, but that is last when it comes to Michelle and the way she plans :) we decided to get Jonah a costume. We struck out at Target, where they had more options for people to dress their dogs than their babies, so we did some hunting around online. We ended up finding a monkey costume we really liked, and based on the reviews, we thought it might be ok on our little guy, even though the smallest available size was 6-12 months.

Though the costume was big on Jonah, he looked extremely cute in it. He got to wear it twice on the Friday before Halloween: once for his daycare's parade of kids in their costumes and that night for the neighborhood trick or treat. Before you say anything, no, we didn't take him trick or treating. We put him in his costume to hand out some candy and say hi to a couple neighbors quickly before he needed to eat.

Here are a couple pictures of our little monkey.

Jonah slept for most of the costume parade, but here is a picture from before he took his little nap.

The Saturday before Halloween, Michelle and I found a new resale shop for children's stuff called Tuesday's Child in Wauwatosa. They had a great little selection of costumes. Though we were too late for this year, we will certainly keep it in mind for next year!
