She’s the adorable little girl featured in our tagless baby clothes on our Happy Pandas Page. Phyllis the owner of Baby Swags told us a little bit about her little girl. Gianna, she just turned three in August. She started preschool after labor day and is very excited. She started ballet/tap class and will be doing it for the next 10 weeks. She loves to play rough, but then there is her sweet girl side. She is the youngest, with her big sister Alyssa being 9, her older brother being (just about 6 in a few weeks), she has both influences. She loves to play with lego’s, color with markers, play playdoh, ride her scooter, play catch with her brother and do makeovers with her sister. She really loves singing and will sing anywhere and everywhere when prompted, lol. She is my wild child with a complete mind of her own already. Lives in PJ’s or your t-shirts, lol.

This is Keegan at five months old and he was one of our first Happy Panda models. Look at those toes aren’t they cute! When he was six months he weighed twenty pounds and measured twenty-nine and a half inches long. At church the infant caregivers wanted to move him up to the next age group even though he wasn’t old enough. “He’s just a big boy” his mom Cassie would say. Cassie told us that she was taking a beach towel to restaurants to help him sit up in the high chairs because he had outgrown his carrier.

Keegan is now 8 months old and crawling and cutting teeth. He is getting ready for a new adventure as his family is moving. We are so proud to support Cassie! She is starting her very own Adventure Boot Camp for Women. Happy Panda would like to congratulate her and her family on their new adventure and wish them all the best.

Baby Diva

Who’s That Girl?

My boot camp instructor asked me one morning, “Is that your baby on your website?” And as much as I would love to have claimed her I had to reply with, “No, that’s Baby Diva!” She has quickly become an internet star in her first year of life. When I asked her Mom for a photo in order to tell people about her in our blog section, she sent me several photos and I couldn’t pick just one! So here she is in several photos lumped into one. I came across her while visiting a link to the American Heart Association. There was her story about how this little baby girl over came great odds by having heart surgery at three months old. Isn’t she beautiful? She’s too cute and look how healthy she is now. Can’t you tell that her smile just brings joy to those around her? Over several months she has helped many companies by modeling their various products. We would like to thank her for modeling ours by donating 10% of our total sales during the month of September to the American Heart Association. Although there were many donations made on her birthday in August, we hope that folks will stop by and make further donations. Cheers to you Baby Diva from Happy Panda!

Darrien

Happy Birthday Darrien!

This is Darrien modeling our soccer panda t-shirt. This has been a very popular product and believe it or not he helped create this very design. He turned seven years old today. Happy Panda would like to thank him for his creative ideas and his patience posing for many pictures. The Happy Panda concept was created during his first year of life. It is often a misconception that a big baby will grow to become overweight. Darrien defies that school of thought but continues to be the tallest one in his class. He has increased to size 8-10 youth during this past summer. This past year Darrien had his anoids removed and tubes inserted in his ears. He has regained his hearing to the full extent that it should be. He has recently become an official cub scout and continues to be a fantastic big brother to baby Rex.

Happy Birthday Rex!

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.
