Starting to get the hang of this now

This has to be one of my favorite photos thus far. That's Haymitch laying across the throat of a smiling Peeta. They don't play yet but are starting to seem to more actively climb on each other. Before, it seemed to be more that they were just climbing over one another to get to the milk bar. They're spending more time away from her and she has been roaming away from the whelping bo a bit more. I've closed the ex pen up on her so she can't go far.

Everyone is gaining weight but not at the same rate. While he appears to be ok, Gael, who was the smallest at birth, has gained the least. I haven't figured it out percentage wise. May need to ask my husband to do that for me. I could do it but I don't know that I want to struggle with numbers, not my favorite thing:-)

When I did the early neurological stimulation this morning, I was amazed to find that none of them seemed to mind the q tip tickle to the foot. In fact, they all stayed completely still except Peeta who only squirmed a little but not much. Gael was the only one that squirmed on the head held erect exercise and he quieted down very quickly (maybe 1 second squirming, 2 seconds quiet).  No one was happy with the head held down but not a whole lot of squirming. Katness yawned on this one. Do they use this to displace stress this young? Peeta and Prim squirmed a bit in the supine position but the others were very quiet and seemed comfortable. Not too much reaction to the wet towel. I keep expecting this to be the hardest and it's the one that I am least certain that I want to do but they don't seem to mind and I do it last and then they go right back to mom and get plugged in.

Just a few more photos. I think they are the cutest things going.



They sure look big:-)
