I love these ideas especially when you are working on such a tight budget. Baby costumes aren’t always cheap. My nephew was a dragon this year and though it was really cute, the pricing was steep. I think next year I may take a leaf out of your book!

I like the doctor idea, but I feel like the stethescope that goes around the neck is a really bad idea for litle kids. MAek sure it’s the one that has a very short cord.
My cousins all dressed their kids up as candy, or icecream cones that she made her self. The littlest was a tootsie roll. You can get the fabric at most fabric stores and just make a little blanket and wrap the baby up. Then add a white cap. I will add the picture to the page on facebook.

My almost-one-year-old son was Winnie the Pooh. I had yellow pants and a long-sleeved yellow onesie with a red short-sleeved tee to go over it. I took his orange and yellow sippy cup and put a “hunny” label on it. He happened to have a Pooh hat that came with an old sleep sack – it was a bit small, but did the trick. He looked adorable! It was obvious what he was, and it hardly cost me anything!

how about a cow costume: white onesie + black electrical tape cut into “little cow spots” + old bottle nipples sewn in front

A Flower Garden:
Brown clothes, break apart 1 cheap flower lei (party supply or dollar stores always have these) and either safety pin or fabric glue on flowers all over clothes. Bonus for making a headpiece out of a headband (glue on flowers), maybe also add green pipe cleaners with flowers AND little bees on them.

A different kind of baby einstein

I think I might do a billion dollar baby–put him in a sleep sack (white or really whatever is handy), and on the front of it, use felt or construction paper to make a black $ sign. Maybe pin a couple of dollar bills around his neck or if feeling energetic, use matching solid color to make a collar and attach the dollar bills to that.
