It's cute baby time...

I shirked my work duties and took little Joe to the zoo yesterday. He went nuts, of course, especially when he realized that the animals in his books are freakin' REAL.

I have to admit--until I saw the hippo, I wasn't sure it was real either...

Not many animals in these pics, but it was tough to get any good animal shots with his face in them. Nonetheless, I think you'll be able to see that his cuteness has grown by at least 53 percent.
