Who’s the cutest debutante? Bao Bao the panda
Here’s one more look at this cutie.
This giant panda only weighs 17 pounds.
Bao Bao, the Smithsonian National Zoo's giant panda cub, had a test run with the media on Monday.
She'll make her public debut later this month.
"She's gone from kind of crawling to walking, and she's so playful, so energetic. She's such a great little girl," senior curator Brandie Smith told NBC News.
How's she handling her newfound fame?
"She doesn't even seem to notice the folks who are watching her, her adoring public," Smith told the Associated Press.
She's only got eyes for mom.
