Bad day be gone: Here is a video of the National Zoo’s soon-to-be-named panda cub taking her first steps.

Watch as little Bao Bao, Ling Hua, Long Yun, Mulan or Zhen Bao makes a valiant effort to carry her 10-pound body across her den floor. From the Zoo:

Over the weekend and yesterday cam watchers may have noticed that she has been able to get her hind legs underneath her and stand up. She hasn’t gotten very far yet though, she’s only takes a few steps before sitting back down and crawling. On Sunday she almost walked out of the den all by herself. She stood in the doorway of the den trying to get her hind legs underneath her and walk, but she tired herself out and took a nap in the doorway instead.
As the cub becomes increasing more mobile, Mei Xiang has started to take her out of the den for short forays into the indoor enclosures. On Saturday she took the cub out of the den and put her on the floor of the larger indoor enclosure while she got a drink.
