Despite the fact that her son is growing like a weed, the \"Glee\" alum proudly announced that she has found the perfect Halloween outfit for her little one.

Proudly declaring she found a \"cute Halloween onesie,\" Benoist admitted to Bass that her son’s first Halloween is a little bittersweet.

Not only will she not be able to show off her son's adorable getup in person to friends and family, Benoist sighed that \"it’s a bummer we’re not gonna get any trick-or-treaters.\"

Despite the letdown, Benoist affirmed that \"it’s for a good reason\" that children are changing their Halloween traditions this year in order to keep their family and loved ones safe from possible exposure to COVID-19.

Benoist welcomed Huxley alongside husband and fellow \"Supergirl\" co-star Chris Wood last month. The two shared the announcement of their son's birth a few weeks after his arrival, with the actress gushing on Sept. 25, \"This little boy is everything.\"
