Tiny babies celebrate their first Halloween, complete with costumes

Instead of scary, some children are adorable this Halloween.

The smallest of babies and their parents are celebrating the holiday with tiny sized costumes.

"Every day, a child in the NICU can be frightening and uncertain, but holidays are especially tough, as families miss the normal joys of celebrations at home," said Rebecca Keunen, March of Dimes/NICU family support coordinator at Saint Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.

The March of Dimes is helping families remember their babies’ the first Halloween with costumes and photo opportunities.
