Just so amazing to see how 'Mum' copes with her - I am in New Zealand and it gives me a lot of pleasure to see the wee cub grow SO FAST - thank you for the great opportunity that you have given us in other parts of the world. I am 'hooked' on Panda Cam - keep up the good work. I go in every day to see ‘Su Lin’and have been for a while now.

At the end of August this year, I was in California and said I wasn't going to be happy with my vacation trip if I didn't get to go to the zoo. The baby panda was only about 3 weeks old at that time. Since my return home to northeast Iowa, I checked out the website more thoroughly and found the Panda Cam and have been hooked ever since. I have learned so much information on the pandas but also on all the other animals at the zoo as well. I do appreciate all the fabulous work you do with these animals. I know it must be heavenly to work in such a fantastic place every day! Thank you for making this site so exciting! The first time I was at the zoo was in 1976.

Love seeing them both but just wondered why you only have an overhead camera. I believe it would be an advantage to have the camera on the pandas' level as the National Zoo does. Thank you for the regular updates. I have been watching the progress of the San Diego panda as well as the National Zoo panda.

Yesterday the baby so liked being out and rolling around on the grass> It's absolutely mind boggling when I see Bai taking baby by the scruff of the neck and gently carrying her back inside. I so enjoy seeing the great camera work all of you do. Kudos to all of you. I am right now looking at Bai taking a morning nap outside on a platform. Not a care in the world. Baby is inside napping and moving her legs like crazy. This little thing wants to walk. Pretty soon, baby. Her naming ceremony is soon. I hope my name is chosen as does everyone. Once again thank you all for the wonderful information you get to us on the blogs. Have a nice weekend. Suzy Hi Team:

When will Bai Yun and her baby be on exhibit? (I can't wait!) How old were Hua Mei and Mei Sheng when they first went on exhibit? Thank you!

The cub fascinated me. Researching about pandas led me to your website. How amazing are these beautiful animals! I feel privileged to be sharing moments with them as mothers and babies interact. When I am at work, and I am tired, I think of them and the day gets easier. Thank you for the cam website.

Also, last night Bai had lifted her under her little arms and was placing her on the floor so her paws were touching the floor. She did this several times. I was wondering if she is trying to teach the baby to sit and walk. It was a delight to see. I am sure many people have submitted a name for the little one and we all cannot wait to hear the name. Hope it is the one I chose. She is precious. Hint, hint!!! Again I will say thank you for taking such good care of mother and baby. I can tell you are so happy doing your jobs. Suzy Hello:

Bai and baby were playing and mom was feeding her and all of a sudden the baby was in Bai's arms and started to kiss Bai's lips and her face. Bai was doing the same to baby and it was definitely a mutual admiration society. I cannot wait to read the latest exam report to see if baby's teeth have finally come in. The baby looks like she is gaining strength in her back legs. I hope she can start walking soon. Oh, she's a dollykins! I had to laugh this morning. Bai had stalks of bamboo and canes all over the den. She was "going to town" sharding those stalks and they were landing on the baby. It's such fun watching this darling family.

She saw "light" spots from the sun on her floor in the den and she was playinig with them. She was touching them and trying to catch them. She was so cute and so smart. What a winner. Can she see completely now? I hope so. Thank you so much. I can't wait to read the newest exam report. Suzy Hello:

What a marvel. This little one is terrific. I can tell she will be bright and playful. She loves looking at her mother if in fact both of her eyes have opened completely. I hope so. I am anxious to read about her next exam. Her body has definite markings of the giant panda and she is so chubby and rounded. What a doll! All my friends and family are like me -- watching and oooing and ahing with everything Bai and baby do whether together or alone. I cannot wait for the baby to be named so I can call her by her name too. The Chinese pick such wonderful names. Christmas will be especially nice this year because everyone will be gifted, especially their fans by finding out the baby's name. I went out today and purchased a stuffed panda along with her baby in her lap. I splurged and I'm glad I did. I put them in my den as whimsicals, just sitting there cute as can be. Sleep well girls. See you tomorrow.
