My babies are 4 weeks old now and growing like weeds. Pretty soon they won’t want to snuggle with their old mom anymore so I take advantage any chance I get to cuddle with them! They have started to use the litter pan. They don’t quite have the hang of it yet so there is lots of crying and complaining during the “process”. Most of their teeth have come in and they have tried eating canned food but, once again, everyone is still trying to get the hang of things. They are much more active and have begun to wrestle with each other. It’s awfully cute since they don’t have fine motor skills yet!

Our foster parents have decided to name us after characters in “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Jack Sparrow is the black and white boy. He’s the adventurous one and looking to get into mischief. Jack was the first born and is still first in almost everything. He was the first out of the den, the first to try food and water, the first to run and climb. Interestingly, he was the last to figure out potty training!

Hector is the white and black boy. Hector is 2nd born but the baby of the bunch. He’s a big momma’s boy!  He is the only one with long hair. He has a big, round head with the cutest baby face!  He looks a bit like a panda bear.  Hector is the last to try everything and is a bit whiny. Hopefully he will grow out of that. To Hector’s credit he was the first to poop in the potty. He cried the whole time but he did it!

Elizabeth is the brown tiger with white. She looks a little like a calico and is the prettiest of the bunch. She comes running whenever she hears Mom or Dad’s voice and loves to cuddle. She was the first to figure out how to get over the baby gate and out of our room. I get very nervous when I have children on both sides of the gate!

Tia is the gray with white girl. She is just adorable and quite smart. She figures things out very quickly. She was the easiest to potty train and the first to “discover” food.

Everyone had a checkup recently. The babies got their first vaccinations and we all got dewormer (just a precaution) and a manicure. The shelter staff thought we looked great and we all received “2 thumbs up”.    Hooray!
