Kitten development doubts

Hi!
First of all I want to thank catwoman707 , StefanZ and Sarthur2 for all their help in april when I was raising Alex, my orphaned kitten who sadly didn't survive past his second week.
But now I'm glad to tell you that I've been raising Lana, another orphaned kitten who turned 3 weeks today and she is doing fine.
I've been studying Chaos' thread by nikkykay which is wonderful and full of detail for every developmental milestone.

But there's something I haven't read in other posts I've checked:
Lana opened fully her eyes last wednesday and they look healthy, but she doesn't use them to see just yet. She isn't blind because she sometimes stares at stuff for a little while, but she doesn't still use them to explore. She still relies on her nose, mouth and paws to find me and her milk.
Is it normal? When do kittens start to actually see and play?

She also can already walk on her legs with her belly off the ground. But still has no interest in playing.

Khoas didn't start playing until late into his 4th week (a few days off from 5 weeks.) He was 3-5 days premature, so it was understandable for him.

To my knowledge, though, all kittens develop at their own rate. She should start playing a 4-5 weeks, though.

The first week they dont see very well, difficulty with focusing, dont really know what they see.  Its noting peculiar she uses her other sences as more reliable as yet.   It will come soon eough!

Developmentally the first sign of play is about 3 1/2 weeks or so, with siblings. They will waddle up to one, tap with their paw and walk away, waiting for a reaction from the other sib.

It's this new found spunk mode, and is so cute!

I think with no sibs you will likely notice when teasing with something very small, her ears will be forward and she will get a curious look and attempt to touch it, find out what it is.

Super cute age coming in a very short time, my fave

Hello everyone!
I want to thank @catwoman707, @StefanZ, @sarthur2 and @NikkyKay for helping me when I was raising Lana.
She turned 18 (1 human year) a few weeks ago and is very healthy.
Here are some pictures:





She is kind and likes to play a lot. Specially with them shoelases!

Hows Chaos doing?

Hi there!

Lana looks fantastic, what a lovely girl she has grown up to be!

Hoping she is spayed?! 

Yes! She got spayed on her 9th month. She recovered very quickly
