Just checked in on our little guy. Laying on Mom's belly and playing.

quercusalba · 12-15-2005, 08:23 AM

He is *so* funny - so active right now! Crawling all over mom's head, attacking her... it's hilarious. He is such a doll.

I'm definitely in love.

bookchick · 12-16-2005, 06:51 AM

Thank you for posting this link! Some of the cutest stuff I have ever seen - for that past 15 minutes he's been playing with mom. At first she wanted nothing to do with him (kind of like he was going "hey mom, you awake? mom, mom, mom, mom.... let's play mom) Now that he got her up they've been playing quite a bit.

Too cute. I may be checking on them all day.

quercusalba · 12-16-2005, 08:21 AM

Looking at panda-baby again.... laying on his back, waving his hind legs around, chewing on his paws.. he has *no* idea that he's an endangered species. He's just happy to stick his big furry feet in his mouth and leap at his mother's head.

Funny and sad.

eddie z. · 12-17-2005, 09:43 PM

Caught him nursing again just now. Whee! My black-and-white kitties Agatha and Marcel (litter-mates) really do remind me of him (see the Pets thread).

Love and hugs,
Eddie

eddie z. · 01-01-2006, 10:22 AM

Right now Tai Shan is sleeping in a plastic tub which I don't imagine is there for that reason, but he's made it multi-purpose. lol.

Love and hugs,

Panda cub turns six months old

Monday, January 9, 2006; Posted: 2:41 p.m. EST (19:41 GMT)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The most popular baby in the nation's capital turned 6 months old Monday, bathing still in the fawning, gawking, preening, peering and swooning admiration that visitors have exhibited since his coming out party.

That's because Tai Shan is already a huge draw at the National Zoo, where the panda cub was born July 9. He spent his usual three hours on public display Monday. Tai Shan is the hottest ticket in town. When he initially went on view last month, tickets were scooped up in barely two hours and later were hawked on eBay. All of January's tickets are gone, with no plans announced yet for February.

Zoo officials say the cub has come a long way in a short time. He's now up to 27 pounds, and his nose is turning black.

The longest surviving cub born at the National Zoo, Tai Shan is expected to be sent to China when he turns 2. His parents are on a 10-year loan from the Chinese government.

You can't get more adorable than this. What a great way to begin my day with a big smile on my face.

I am loving watching this little guy grow.

Hugs
Ann

eddie z. · 01-10-2006, 05:50 AM

Thank you for the update, Phinny!! As always, I am completely "cuted out." We were mentioning earlier how my Agatha and Marcel kitties resemble pandas. It's funny they were talking about Tai Shan's nose turning black because Marcel was also born with a pink nose and his "moustache" only developed later. Maybe he's a panda after all. LOL.

Love and hugs,
Eddie

Maybe this will get Don's attention. Sigh...
