I apologize for my late response (holidays and all). I do appreciate the response, though, being human (according to some) I guess I can't understand the solitary nature of the panda, although the competing for food supply made it more clear to me.

I know all pandas have adorable eyes, but for some reason, ZZ's eyes seem to just be extra gorgeous. It's the shape of them and the placement of the black patches and how wide they always seem to be. I just think her eyes are amazing. Is anyone else here struck by how beautiful our baby girl’s eyes are??

She has turned into such a lovely toddler that she takes my breath away. To think I spent all these years as an accountant when I could have been nurturing panda babies.....what an awesome job (yes, I have a dog and I KNOW there is some scooping involved)!!! Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas with lots of warm sunshine...it is snowing here in BC, a lovely present for our holidays. Holiday Hugs to Bai and our angel, Fluffybutt. I will be watching (as usual)!! I turned on my computer this morning and WHO is on national news but little miss ZZ, making her very first public appearance.

It looks like Zhen is over by the tree, and Bai is on the right side. Maybe she can keep her eye on Zhen better up there, and is helping Zhen feel comfortable sleeping up there before their public debut tomorrow. So much for 9-11 AM. It is almost 12 noon PST and they are still outside together. Are my eyes deceiving me, or are both mom and cub up on the climbing structure, on opposite sides, sound asleep?

Where is she now? I see a house behind her but it looks like she is up very high again??? I'm amazed that her mother is not stopping her from these high climbs. Good Heavens!! Where is she now?

I was very worried that she would not be able to come down on her own. That she would be stuck up there and very distressed. Did the keepers have to help her? How did our little one get down?

A man that I think may be Scott is holding one cub in the middle front row, like it is waving. I wonder if it is Hua Mei's cub that Lisa photographed? In the middle back row there is another man that I recognize from some of Mei Sheng's arrival pictures, and he is holding a very young cub. I wonder if it is the one that the dam was carrying in her arm while she walked on three legs so Wu and Lisa could clean out their den. It is an amazing picture, and although there were fewer cubs born in 2007 than 2006, they all look very healthy, happy, well fed and well cared for. The keepers obviously love them and are taking world class care of them. Hua Mei has thrived in their care, and Mei Sheng has received first class treatment too. Once he gets accustomed to his new home, he will likely also thrive. May 2008 bring him " Miss Right" and happiness with his lady, like his papa has with Bai Yun.

That worries me. Zhen's last video (Ded 13) is unbearably cute. After watching it many times, it still gives me the thrill. I guess when cuteness reached to " beyond believe" level, it will never wears out. I will do anything to hug her. Baby ZZ high up on the tree? That worries me.

I love the photo too. It would be great to have that one of daughter and mom offered for wallpaper online. ZZ is so much fun to watch. She seems confident in her walking on ground and then she tries to balance on the log and tips over. Never put off though and she just seems to be having fun whether falling off logs or trying to get mom's attention. She is a handful alright. Thank you for the update. I love the photo too.
