Here are Xi'an and Tango's kittens, 1 blue boy and 1 blue girl.
They have the cutest little faces, but their eyes have just opened and they still seem to move more by feel and smell than by sight. It will be another several days before they can actually support their own weight and walk.
Here is our February litter at 10 days old
18 days old
Here they are just waking up, the boy with the big yawn.
Here they have climbed out of the kitten bed, boy on the right. Notice that the ears have started to unfold from the close to the head position in the earliest photos.
Left is the boy. He was trying to climb out of the high-sided kitten bed when he was surprised by the camera flash and closed his eyes. This area is intentionally kept dark and quiet, so it takes a bit of adjustment for their eyes. The boy is more interested in eating and sleeping than anything else right now. He has started purring when he nurses, which is a very different sound than an adult purr.
Right is the girl. She is more adventurous than her brother - she was the first born - and the first to climb out of the kitten bed. Look at that pose! She's already hamming it up for the camera. She has started to roll around and play with her brother, although he's not too interested yet in playing with her.

Above and below is the boy. These photos were all taken at night with a flash, so the color is much darker in the photos than it is "in the fur". They really are blue kittens, but I don't want to mess around too much with the photos.
This was the first time the kittens had been in the bedroom, and they found the bed a little intimidating. Below the boy was cleaning his foot when I interrupted him.
Above is the girl. She kept walking straight toward the camera, curious to see what I was holding, so it was hard to catch her still. The boy did the opposite, and kept walking away to investigate.
They are so cute at this age. They are just discovering toys, and will bat a little ball around on the floor. They are just starting to follow a toy with their eyes, but only if I drag it on the ground - they can't seem to follow it if I dangle the toy in the air. This is the messy age, too - just learning to eat and to use the litter box.
