TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some of you may know, around the same time that John and I moved to the U.S., there was a very exciting thing happening over at the National Zoo in Washington DC -- the giant pandas were expecting a baby! A baby male panda, Tai Shan, was born 7 months ago today and has totally captivated not only Washington but the rest of the world....he has to be the cutest thing we have ever seen. You just can't help but tune into the webcam that is set up at the zoo http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/default.cfm?cam=LP2 , just to see him frolick around the enclosure and play with his mum. John and I, like the rest of the city, have booked tickets to go and see him (they have started to allow visitors for 10 minute intervals). Even at 7 months old, he's still just a gorgeous little ball of fur! Here's a photo taken last Sunday after the snow storm -- they obviously were having a fab time....
