The San Diego Zoo's 11-week-old giant panda cub has arrived at his "awkward toddler stage," taking his first clumsy baby steps, veterinarians at the zoo said.

During a checkup Thursday (Oct. 18), zookeepers took the cub off the exam table and let him test out his wobbly crawling skills on a mat on the floor.

"I would say he's making progress," P.K. Robbins, San Diego Zoo senior veterinarian, said in a video from the zoo. "He's kind of at that awkward toddler stage where some limbs are working better than others. Certainly the front legs want to get up and go. The back legs sort of got a little bit left behind. But he's definitely learning." [See Panda Cub Video]

Robbins added the cub is getting a little spot on his tail, and the baby teeth at the front of his mouth are starting to come in.
