There’s an adorable new panda video on the web, as if the end of the work week isn’t reason enough to rejoice!

Zoo Atlanta’s giant panda twins, Ya Lun and Xi Lun reached a new milestone this month, celebrating six months of life on March 3.

The twins have been increasingly spending time in the dayroom habitat in the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Giant Panda Conservation Center at Zoo Atlanta since being born on Sept. 3. Now, they’re allowed to stay in the play room all day.

The pandas will reach a new exciting milestone in a few weeks when they’re allowed to enjoy some playtime outside!

According to AJC reporter Bo Emerson, Ya Lun and Xi Lun are the  the sixth and seventh offspring of Lun Lun and Yang Yang.

Watch video of the 22-pound (Ya Lun) and 21-pound (Xi Lun) pandas playing above.
