Here's the blue boy. He was the most excited about being up on the bed, with the new toys and all the things to explore - so we didn't get many photos! He's very bouncy and talkative.
Here is the blue girl. She's more quiet than her brother, but just as active.
The kittens are playing with toys, with each other, and trying to play with their mom between sips of milk. For the first time today they watched a string toy over their heads - last week they weren't able to follow it with their eyes.
Above is the ruddy boy. I think he's got a cute little face, much like his older brother from our Christmas litter. He's the smallest but it's not holding him back any from having fun!
Above is the ruddy girl. Still bigger than any of her siblings, she likes to play with a little puff ball with feathers sticking out of it. At this age they haven't learned how to pick up the toy and carry it with them.

Here is the blue girl. She is becoming a very pretty girl. She's the quietest and the calmest - but that doesn't mean she doesn't play like a Somali kitten! She bounced all over the bed playing with this toy.
While I was trying to take photos of her brother, the blue girl decided it was time for her close-up and walked right in front of him as the camera went off. She must have known the camera would focus on her instead . . .
Next is the ruddy girl. She is still the biggest, and the first to the food dish or the milk bar. She's starting to get a little color around her face, but kittens from this line are usually very slow to develop, so we aren't expecting much too soon.
Look at those ear tufts!
Somali kittens are so fun to watch, you hardly need a TV. They run around chasing each other or their mom, they roll around and wrestle, and they are starting to pick up toys and carry them around to play with.
Here's the blue boy. What a little monkey! He went nuts playing with the string toy. He's quite talkative and it's hard to slow him down. I think he has a very sweet expression, he reminds me of his dad, Zoom. But their looks can change pretty quickly!
This little cutey is our ruddy boy. He was just waking up when I tood this shots, which is why he looks so perfectly posed. He is the first of the kittens to pick up toys and carrying them around - his favorite toy is a furry mouse.
Here he is wiping sleep out of his eyes. He has a very cute expression and a pretty face, and is so much fun to play with!

This is the blue boy. The kittens are all getting even harder to photograph - they move even faster and are more coordinated than before. They now really like to play with feather toys and things that dangle in the air.
This is the blue boy again. He's very sweet and will sit in my lap for short periods and let me rub his belly. His face, long body and long legs make him look a lot like his grandpa, Dusty, did at this age.
The blue boy is playing "vampire cat" with the ruddy girl.
The blue girl, left. She looks more like her dad's sister Mia did at this age. She's got the darkest blue color of the 2, and it's really hard to wait so long to find out what they will really look like as adults!
The 2 blues, boy in front.
The 2 girls.
The ruddy boy. He loves to play with his furry mice!!! He has such a pretty face, and he seems to be the one who likes to pose for the camera.
This is the ruddy girl. She is getting quite a bit of color. She seems to like to be tops at everything - she is the biggest, the best eater, and now has the most color too.
