It's hard to believe that these guys are going to be a week old tomorrow. This first week has gone by really fast! Today the largest one tried to stand up! He's not really walking, but he's not crawling all the time either. It's more like a lurching. He is the easiest to pick out and has been sniffing at the edge of the box! I'd bet he's the first one up and over! He also started kneading while nursing today!
2 of them still have their umbilical cords and one other one has a small scab where it was. I'm sure it's fine, but I'm keeping an eye on it. Speaking of eyes, they should be open their wee eyes soon! Everything will be blurry for them, but I can't wait to see their blue eyes! All kittens have blue eyes for awhile, and will eventually settle into their adult color later on.
While we were weighing the kittens tonight one of them started to cry and Willow came over from eating and carried him away! It was adorable! It was the first time I've seen her carry anyone. She kinda of tried to pick him up by his head, but then settled for the scruff. My reading says sometimes they don't know how to carry them and even carry them by their legs at first!
