I honestly think that one of the reasons Halloween exists is so we can put our babies in costumes. There is nothing more adorable than seeing a chubby little one in a lamb costume. Or a lion costume. Or a spider costume. It's literally guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face.

So, since everyone can always use a smile — and since Halloween is a mere 20 days away — here are 8 of the most squee-worthy photos of babies in costumes. Dying!
