new mommy

I'm a new parent and i've never seen people take their 5 month old babies out trick-or-treating. What I was planning to do was dress her up in a Halloween costume and paint her face. Should I take her out tonight? It's a bit cold out but still I haven't seen parents take an infant out on Halloween night for candy. I want people to see how I am proud of her and to see her Halloween costume. I feel like it's a young age. Should I still take her??? I've never lived in a city before and I am from a small town so it makes it a lot more exciting plus this is my first child and I am new at this first time holiday events with a dependant. It sounds like fun doesn't it????

I've seen people take infents out all the time... but I'm from a small town of 3,000 and they were just going out to show off the costume to there friends (the whole town). I would do it if it were me.

Take her and take lots of pictures. I always took the kids out when they were young. Just bundle her up good and go to a few houses that you know. Then eat the candy yourself! Yum!

Definitely take her out - more for your own fun and amusement, and for the "awwww" that you'll undoubtedly get from every friend. But go only to houses of people you know, and be safe!
