Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!

Tai Shan, the National Zoo's panda cub, turns one year old today. This is what he looked like when we paid him a visit last winter: a panda in a bowl. These days he's much larger and spends most of his time napping in the trees, or bugging his mom. Like many households the world over, we watch him on the panda cam, and have grown fond of the little guy. We like watching his parents too.
