Today is Rex’s very first birthday. What does that have to do with Happy Panda you ask? Well, not only is he a happy panda but he is our top model. Throughout our page you can find photos of him as he has grown over this past year.

And what a year it has been for Rex! Here are a few highlights.

We would like to thank Dr. Azim for giving Rex the right diagnosis (intestinal malrotation) and Dr. Bloss for performing the surgery to correct it. Rex was two months old when this surgery was performed. Rex has always been a big baby and this was hard to diagnose because he never lost any weight. We are happy to report that he has fully recovered and still maintains a healthy appetite.

On a Sunday morning in May, Rex’s father fed him a bagle with peanut butter on it. This was the morning the whole family found out (at the ER) that Rex has a peanut allergy. It’s amazing how many products he has to avoid because of this allergy.

Rex is such a joy to work with and keeps us all in grins and giggles. We would like to thank him for his patience during all of his photo shoots and garment changes and being a true inspiration for the Happy Panda brand. We would also like to report that he has been taking his first steps during this week. Happy 1st Birthday Rex from all of us at Happy Panda.
