It made me laugh to read the size comparison they used to describe the newborn: the size of a cell phone!!!  HAHA!

If I remember right, 2 years ago Xi Lan was described as the size of a stick of butter!

Amy...And my thought...remember when cell phones came in a bag?  I had one of those!  Then the "portables" came out...larger than & the weight of a brick!

Kris-you remember right.  They used that one a lot-Tai Shan at the National Zoo was nicknamed Butterstick on a lot of the forums for that very comparison. 

Remember when Xi Lan got so sick?  That was one awful night until we finally got news he was OK.

I have now read this headline 3 or 4 times and each time I've asked myself why Toronto would obliterate an osprey nest...tells you what kind of day I'm having...

I knew I forgot something-band information for the Cabot-Sirocco & Mariah offspring.

Again, thank you for any help you can give me!

I love the expression!

Doooh!  I meant to do that!

OK...I've seen her do this...



Tee-hee!   You're not doin' it right, Dad! Mom's gonna be MAD at you!



What!  I'm covering you both!



Thank goodness you're back, Mom!  Wait 'til we tell you what Dad did!

They grew up too quickly!
