Sleeping Baby Face Cookies

Let's talk about babies. 

I just can't get enough of my little man. He is so stinking cute.  I swear by the time he is a year old he is going to be so sick of kisses from me.  I think I kiss him like a million times a day.  Really, it's that much.

It doesn't help that I'm his favorite person in the whole wide world.

Really, he told me himself this morning. He said mom, you're my favorite. It was totally in baby language, but I understand cooing perfectly clear.  My husband will try to argue this with me because he thinks he's the baby's favorite person but, he's wrong. 

He's wrong A LOT!

Since I'm his favorite person I have to hold him all the time. This is why my photographs are still dark. I haven't unpacked my cookie room stuff yet. Therefore my lights are still packed.  It's a good reason to not be done....right? 

Hold adorable baby or unpack cookie room? Hmmm that's a tough one.

Maybe I could have my husband unpack because he's NOT the favorite parent so he has more time to do things. Sounds good.

So now that you know why my pictures are looking less than acceptable, we can move on and decorate cookies. 

Cute, sleeping baby face cookies. These are pretty simple to make.  You can do the hats in any color you'd like. I went with blue and green because I'm all into boy stuff right now. 

1. With a #2 tip outline hat with blue royal icing.

2. fill and let dry

3. Add details to hat with a #1 tip and green royal icing. 

With a #2 tip outline bottom half of cookie with flesh colored royal icing for the baby's face.

 4. fill in baby's face with flesh royal icing and let dry

 5. Outline baby's hat, add facial details and add a circle for pacifier. Let dry.

 6. Add small dot of icing on top of pacifier. Let cookie dry.

Now that we are finish decorating cookies, I can go back to holding the baby. Can't you see what a distraction he is?

You guessed it.....I'm Pregnant

Well ready for my secret......

I'm pregnant!

I've been dying to tell you all. I told you I can't keep a secret. This almost killed me.

We are so excited. And I'm so excited to share the news with you all.

We're hoping for a bouncing baby boy this time....the guys need one on their team.

I'm five weeks along and due on July 25! 

Aren't these cookies too cute for words? I made these cookies and sent one out to each family member in the mail this week.  Cute way to announce the pregnancy huh? I thought so. 

Well I hate to cut it short, but I've got a ton of wedding cookies to finish up tonight. 

Just wanted to have this post scheduled and set to come out on Tuesday morning, after I know our parents received their cookie.
