Giant panda cub Xiao Qi Ji ate birthday cake for breakfast Sunday morning as he celebrates turning two-years-old at the National Zoo in D.C.
He’ll be getting a special “fruitsicle” cake — and his mom Mei Xiang may take part in the festivities too.

Last month, the zoo celebrated Mei Xiang’s 24th birthday with an ice cake.
The birthday parties come as the zoo continues to celebrate 50 years of caring and hosting the “iconic species.”
You can watch the panda livestream on the zoo’s website to celebrate from home.
