IT'S A GIRL!

Three weeks after entry into this crazy world, San Diego Zoo veterinarians have determined that the panda cub is a girl. Why they didn't just turn her over and find out, I'll never understand. She weighs 22 ounces or just in excess of a pound (me, too!) and is 29.5 centimetres from the tip of her nose to the base of her tail. Her favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers and she talks out loud when she's dreaming. B/c of some Chinese tradition, she won't get a name until she is 100 days old. For now I am calling her Almost-Has-Eyes.
