Promised I'd post some pics of the new kits so here they are.

They're not all that great, but best I could do for now.
This is mom and babies. Mom's name is Mia. She's the sweetest mommy.

Close up of Mia

Now the kids (this was before feeding time)

Then it was feeding time, so I figured no more pics of the kids


Until this little one finished early, so she became my "subject" for the night.

She's waving to you!


Look at that full little belly!



I'm gonna try for more tomorrow. Tough to catch them - there's not much else other than feeding time followed by nap time.

Oh my! What sweethearts!
Mia is gorgeous and she has adorable little babies too. I love the little girl. Right after finishing eating she looks dreamy eyed, hehe

I might be wrong, but I think they are a bit more than two weeks old.... they look awful alert and mobile, with very clear eyes.

Wow, what a stunning kitty family - Mia has the most beautiful face - such expressive eyes. The little ones are angels (at the moment - I reckon you will have your hands full pretty soon!!!
)

oh my so sweet. I miss having a little kitten around. They are so cute and innocent. Then they turn into teenage brats


Very cute kittens

I can touch and play with any part of her including her ears and feet, etc. She's a doll and is constantly purring.

I did some research Neet and it says they normally start crawling between 7-14 days and start walking pretty good around 21 days. They aren't walking yet, but they can stand up and take maybe one wobbly step. That's why I guessed 2 1/2 wks. Also based it on their current weight.
They're not a "young" 2 wks, they're approaching 3 weeks and walking age quickly, but right now they just barely stand up.

Does that guesstimate sound right to you guys? Or did I miss something?

More Pics!!
(Sorry! I'm new to fosterin babies so I'm a bit excited!)
They now have names (named by my kids
) and we thought we had 2 girls and 2 boys. Come to find out, I believe we've got 1 boy and 3 girls and the only boy in the bunch was the little tabby one I took pics of yesterday and thought it was a girl.
Honestly I'm havin trouble identifying them with their "little parts"
If anyone is really good at sexing kittens, let me know and I'll try to take pics of their little behinds and PM you. I"m having a tough time!
So anyways - this is our best guess:
Taffy (Female and the runt):


Skittles (Female):

Pez (Female):


Twizzler (Male):

And one more pic of Mia (or MammaMia as we now call her
)
I took this hoping to catch her eye color. Her eyes are very strange colors. There is the black center, then a small circle of dark lime green, then the rest of it is very light green/yellow. It's almost as if her eyes are multicolored. Unfortunately due to the lighting you can barely see it here.

One more thing! Here's a short video of mom and the kits. They were all purring like little motors. You can hear mom's the best, but you have to listen really close towards the end and you can hear a small chorus of tiny purrs in addition to moms.
