Happy Birthday Dad - Love bugs at the Zoo

We just realized that Maceo is strong enough to ride on Craig's shoulders without having to hold his hands. This is a major milestone as it now means that a shoulder ride is a viable alternative to the stroller and walking. And it is just plain old fun. However, by the looks of these photos we might need to limit Maceo's "ride time" if Craig wants to have any hair by the time he reaches 39. Despite the follicular massage, Maceo intermittently bent around to plant big wet kisses on Craig's cheeks which was about the sweetest thing ever. Craig confirmed that those kisses and hugs were the best birthday gift in years.

Merry Go Round
