The Birthday Bunch turned two weeks old yesterday!
The day before yesterday, slits for eyes began to appear. Everyday since the slits are getting wider. I have to wonder what it is they are seeing. Does the world instantly appear? Or is it a more gradual awareness of "things" they can see? This is when I wish I were a brain scientist and could hook those little suction cup probs to their heads so some computer could show me what it is they are experiencing!
All are growing steadily. Three days ago, three of the four weighed in over 1 pound. June seems to be a little slower to put on weight but then she was the smallest when born. There is a steady increase - so no worries. Cake is living up to her name. She is taking the lead in weight gain! Skip described them as mostly mouth on their heads with budda-like bellys! Welll...of course...nature gives them the big mouths at birth to create those little round bellys.
There is so much changing daily. Ears that were stuck upward when they were born are gradually flopping down. Tails now actually seem to wag while they nurse. Amazing how much distance they can cover with those short little legs swimming across their 4 foot by 4 foot pen!
OK. I'm still very fascinated and awed by all this. Pictures over the week-end.
