Happy (belated) birthday to my sweet little bear! I can't believe you're 3 already! I'm so sorry I didn't make it to your party yesterday but I promise to be there next year. I had such a great time at your first birthday party! I don't care how big you get, you'll always be my sweet fuzzy little baby bear. I can't stand the thought of you being sent to China so I'm praying the Chinese will let us keep you on permanent loan. (Hint hint, China and the National Zoo! What a wonderful goodwill gesture that would be!) Many thanks to Mei for being such a great mommy to you and to your keepers for taking such great care of you. I'm hoping you'll be a big brother soon! I love you sooo much, sweetheart! Hugs and kisses from one of your many adopted mamas :-)

Happy Birthday, Tai Shan! And many thanks to the National Zoo, Lisa, the panda keepers and the volunteers who run the panda cams for their dedication. Like many people, I learned a great deal about pandas because of this website and as many people have already noted, I too cherish the time I have spent watching Tai since he was born (my first baby panda!), Mei and Tian. Please remember to donate to Wolong -- where our adult pandas come from. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're first, as soon as I open my PC every morning, and last just before shutting my PC in the evening, and whenever possible in-between.

[Looks like the Zoo's staffers knew what they were doing. : ) ] That's because you come from the two best mommy and daddy there is, who are also beautiful and handsome and extremely bright. Everyone, here, who knows of you, are crazy about you. You just make me smile and laugh and happy, whenever I see you, no matter what mood or state I'm in. Gosh, I love and care for you very much!

Happy birthday Tai Shan! To me you'll always be Nate because you were born at the National Zoo. I've watched you via the panda cam, eventually visiting you last month. You looked cuter in person. Watching you play with your ball, eat your boo using your front paws instead of chopsticks was a treat.

Happy Birthday Tail Shan and may all your birthdays (and everyday) be filled with cool breezes, fresh bamboo and water and fruitcicles. Please don't let them take you back to China. As far as I am concerned you were born on American Soil, therefore, you are an American Citizen and should stay right where you are!! Let them try and come and get you...

Happy 3rd Birthday, Tai Shan! I have been watching the panda cam since the day you were born. Thanks to the cam operators and NZ, loved hearing and seeing every squeal, grunt, twitch, crawls and finally steps. You have entertained us for hours with your antics and just your cuteness. Wish you lots of fruitsicles for your big day.

Remember the time you fell off the area in your den and as you cried out your mother came running to you - we were all so scared for you. Now you are all grown up and we all are hoping that you will have a little sister or brother soon. Enjoy your day big guy I love you.

Happy birhday Tai! I watched when you were born and have thought about you every July 9. What excitement there was when Mei woke up everybody so early in the morning... I couldn't wait to come see you in person and I did when you were 9 months old. You have loved every fruit ice cake and I know you will tomorrow. I'll be watching! Your DVD has been watched by every one of my first grade classes. You are loved!

Happy birthday, sweet boy. You are such a delight to watch. I have the DVD of your first year, and while it's hard to pick a favorite scene, I loved watching you climb higher and higher in the tree while your caregiver was trying to lure you down with food. Many, many more happy birthdays, Tai! Hugs and kisses to you.
