After This Baby Fell Asleep During His Milk and Cookies Photo Shoot, the Theme Became “Milk Drunk”

For Reegan Houdek's first birthday photo shoot, his mom Alicia decided not to go the now-traditional cake smash route but instead wanted to theme the shoot with cookies and milk. Reegan, adorably dressed in jeans and suspenders, however, was not having it. When photographer Lyndsey Wright of Lyndsey's PhotoCo showed up to snap some adorable photos of the little guy, he smiled for the first few, taking bites of cookie here and there, but then quickly became a bit flustered.

"It was like a switch flipped. He was MAD! Mom and dad tried and tried to calm him down, but nothing was working," Lyndsey told POPSUGAR. "He would be OK for a few seconds, then pitiful crying again. We were all laughing after about 20 minutes because nothing was working, but it definitely wasn't a 'hurt' cry so no one was concerned, just confused! Alicia said to get some crying shots because it was still cute, so I did . . . [then] I told Alicia to go ahead and snuggle him because he was breaking my heart, so I know he had to be shattering hers! He immediately laid his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. I chuckled and said, 'Uhh, he's sleeping.' Alicia rolled her eyes like as if to sarcastically say, 'Of course he is.' I had an idea, so I told her to go with it and put him all the way to sleep, and we would try something."

That "something" Lyndsey thought up was a true masterpiece: Reegan, asleep, drips of milk coming down his chin, half-eaten cookies all around him and on his cute little belly. And the results — photos of a milk drunk baby in a cookie coma — are a serious mood. All I want to know, is how do I get this treatment for my 29th?
