4 Weeks Old

Here is the gallery.

This boy is on his back and so very comfortable.

The crew had no issues with their bowels. They are still solid so today I gave them more food - 2 cans worth and they once again ate it all but a small amount stuck to the dish. One has drank from the water on their own but no one else that I have noticed has. Water is the last to embrace and they are getting sufficient water intake from Mom's milk. They need to drink water before they go upstairs at night. 

They are doing well with walking even on flooring. They are hardly slipping when they try. They are not doing well yet on the pads. I had a waterproof pad surrounding the pad so they had sure footing and that is what they were using consistently so now no waterproof pad. Let's see if that changes everything. They are too early and young to be pad trained. What we attempt is to get them started on where to go. The consistent will come.

Next thing we are going to do is take them out of the xpen but not for a few days. They just turn 4 weeks tonight. After they are used to eating and drinking they will go upstairs at night to sleep without mom. It is all a process. I have cameras and I can see them always on my ipad. Cinnamon is a watcher so she will watch the ipad when that occurs. 

Exciting times plus a 6 week visit is coming.

Be sure to check out the videos and don't forget about the shorts.
