just over 3 weeks old

Mom suspects there will be a break out from the box soon. Versace will stand up and look over the edge and mom caught Chanel doing the same thing as well. Guess it is time to break out the non-clumping litter for a while.
Armani

Gucci 
(he is lighter than Versace and has white on him as well)

Dior

Chanel
check out that black spot on her toes

the orange boys (Gucci in the back) and Dior

weigh ins
Gucci     11 1/8 ounces
Versace  13 1/4 ounces
Chanel   11 1/4 ounces
Dior       12 3/4 ounces
Armani  12 3/4 ounces

So Gucci is still the light weight and his orange brother is still the reigning heavy weight. Mom keeps thinking that Armani is the lightest but he keeps proving her wrong. They continue to gain weight and are doing well. Versace was doing a little baby pouncing and biting of his siblings the other night. As mom says...that is all fun and games until someone gets some teeth.  :)

Millie continues to do well. She still does the occasional "drive by" nibble on mom but nothing aggressive. Still not sure why she does it, but whatever. She is getting a little more possessive of her space and the kittens with all of us on the other side of the doors. Mom is going to block the sight line on the farthest door that is by the shelves outside the room. We mostly leave the room alone unless mom is in there and then we are trying to sniff around and see in a little bit. Until the other night, Millie had kept herself to growling a little at the doors if someone was out there. However, Monday night she saw Tommy on the shelf and launched herself up and at the screen door (she looked like Spiderman hanging up there). Luckily mom can talk her down and she doesn't turn on mom when she is angry. However, mom will be spending some time working on cutting down our access to the doors until she is a little more sure about things.

And again - no fault will ever be placed on Millie - she is protecting her kittens and that is her job.

Fiesta kittens - 3 weeks old

Amazing that they were three weeks old on Saturday. Mom put out a litter box for them and offered them some gooshy food, but they aren't interested yet (which isn't really surprising, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared). They are all getting around pretty well....some go backwards better than forwards. MOL And the tile floor is still too slippery for baby toes.

Salsa - 15 3/8 ounces
He is the big headed boy
And as they have gotten older, it is easier to tell the orange boys apart

Queso - 14 3/4 ounces
Pretty sweet

Blanco - 14 ounces
He is turning into the drama queen of the family

Tostada - 12 3/4 ounces
Our tiny adventurer

Taquito - 13 ounces
Super sweet but squirmy

One that will make you laugh - mom sure wishes she had the camera with her: the kittens all pile near or on top of each other to sleep. At one point, Queso's back paw comes up to scratch an ear....only Salsa is laying on top of Queso, so all that happens is Salsa gets whapped....over and over....in the face. Salsa can't figure out who's whapping him and Queso can't figure out why his ear still itches.
