Last year, Neatorama presented the 13 geekiest Halloween costumes, and while there were a few cute kiddo costumes in the mix, overall, the list was distinctively short on adorability. Hoping to remedy that problem this year, I have opted to do a round up on the epitome of cute costumes, baby Halloween outfits. Don’t worry, there is still all the delightful geekiness you’ve come to expect from Neatorama and NeatoBambino, it’s just that it's about ten times cuter this time around.

Harry Potter

There is no way this little one is not violating the ministry’s Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery. Just look at the way his mother, Christine Penguino, is taunting him with that broom. He was born to be a rebel and Flickr user ZarrSadus has the photographic evidence to prove it.

Update: Our very own Neatobambino reader Christine is mother to this adorable wizard and she has offered us a link with another cute image of baby Potter.

Chun Li

This little Street Fighter’s specialty move must be killing her victims with cuteness. Of course, with a face like that, her enemies must be dropping like flies. It’s amazing Flickr user San Diego Shooter was able to get this picture before he was overwhelmed with the desire to pinch Chun Li’s cheeks until his fingers fell off.

Wolverine

Just like Logan, this little guy has such a bad attitude that even his dad is wary of those adamantium claws. No doubt about it, San Diego Shooter is one brave Flickr member.

Star Wars

ThinkGeek is always a great source to get your tyke ready for his journey into geekdom and their Star Wars costumes are just one step in the right direction.

Star Trek

Of course, if you’d prefer your little one learn how to speak Klingon from a young age, you’d probably be better off with these adorable Star Trek costumes.

Doctor Who

If your baby seems to regenerate a new personality every few months, it might not be their fault. You might have given birth to the world’s newest and cutest time lord like little Valentine here.

Supergirl

Flickr user marniejoyce was lucky to catch this shot of Supergirl right before she took a nap. After all, stopping a bank robbery in diapers is hard work.

Nacho Libre

He may be small, but this little Nacho Libre has all the passion needed to win the hearts and minds of his fans. Of course, he probably still won’t win the big match, but he’s still a winner in my eyes. I’ve looked all over to find an original source for this costume, but I can’t. If you know who originally posted it, let me know and I’ll post a link here.

Storm Trooper

Just like when Han donned this enemy uniform, this little guy, shot at Comic Con by Flickr user Gabriel Madrigal Photography, is too cool for the face-hiding helmet.

Princess Leia

With her knitted braids and white onesie, baby Princess Leia is certainly one of the most comfortable geeky costumed babes. She even had help from mommy so she pose with her light saber for Flickr user San Diego Shooter.

Yoda

Love crafts and the teachings of a little green Jedi? Then perhaps you should head over to Etsy seller demulcentarts’ store to check out her adorable knitted Yoda caps.

Incredible Hulk

Even with all those muscles, I don’t think this Hulk could smash much. Even so, he still looks a lot happier than the Hulk we’re used to seeing.

Flash

Sure Flickr user midiman’s nephew can hardly walk, but you’d better believe he can crawl faster than you can run.

Kiss

Does your tike seem to rock and roll all night and party every day, leaving you beyond sleep deprived? Well, celebrate his inner rock star with this adorable Kiss costume from Spirit. And just in case you’re wondering, yes, they do carry all of the Kiss members’ costumes.

Doctor

Are you already certain your bundle of joy will grow up to be a doctor? Well then, get used to the way he looks in scrubs with this Baby, M.D. costume available from the Neatoshop.

Ok all you geek mommies and daddies, what was the best costume your baby ever wore? Are any of you planning to make your babies even geekier this Halloween?

Everyone thinks their child will grow up to be spectacular, but few can even hope their child will have such a drastic impact on the world as these famous authors in photos from when they were children.

If you think this photo looks rather Kafkaesque, you're right...quite literally. In fact this is young Franz Kafka in 1888 at the age of five.

While no parent actually wants to see their child grow up to join the mafia, seeing an adorable little guy posing as The Godfather is simply precious.  While there's only one picture of this though guy, the many captions at the link are hilarious.

There's been an abundance of cute on the web, particularly lately. At least one site aims to counter this movement, and that is Ugly Overload. I've been waiting for a great post to share, and this quick collection of tongues is just what the doctor ordered...although, I have to say, I still find the giraffe tongue to be quite cute.

Why is it that cute things only get cuter as they get smaller? Whatever the reason, WebUrbanist has the ultimate list of cute animals, as it has the 15 smallest animals. Some of the animals are just tiny species and others are miniture individuals of their type, like the mini mini horse above. Let the cute wash over you like a tidal wave of flower petals and rainbows.

Ok, maybe that's a little misleading, but a recent study has shown that girls have a better sense of taste than boys. Boys require about 10% more sourness and 20% more sweetness to recognize flavors than girls require to taste the same flavor.

Kelly Ferrell uses a laser to cut these adorable mammoths, there are also t-rexes, butterflies and more. They seem quite hard to put together once you get them, but the result is quite worth it and is certain to attract attention from anyone who sees them.

Cute Things Falling Asleep is yet another adorable animal blog, this one exclusively posts videos of its namesake. I've gotta say, this one is even a bit too cute for me, but I couldn't resist this adorable sloth video.

These neat looking socket accessories are also functional. They help you keep your floors clean from all those electronics you're charging all the time.

"The antlers for all three types of deer are already the perfect shape to hold things, so we hardly had to modify the forms at all. The tough urethane rubber we used for the cover holds handsets tightly, and also protects the antlers from breakage should you bump into them."

I have to say, this song, like the wiener dog song, will be in my head for weeks to come. But it is so worth it just to see the little hamster in critter heaven munching on his popcorn no matter what else happens.

Speaking of adorable animals, who could ever resist this little pup in her lovely kimono?
