Kittens at play
They have mastered climbing UP things, but the DOWN part hasn't come yet. They have two ways of getting down: either they stick their claws out and let themselves slide down, or they use the "gravity" method and just hope for the best! There are frequent "thumps" as they hit the ground.

Like all litters that came before them, they have discovered our shoe rack. I have no idea why, but they love to climb in the shoes and play with the laces.
"Pinned ya!!!"
Seven now lets them play out of our room, but she keeps an eye on them. If she feels that one of our other cats is getting too close (usually Titan), she will intervene and put herself between him and the kitten.
The picture of cuteness
The kittens now eat solid food as their main source of food. They have quite interesting eating methods: they often stand directly in the food dish! They make a BIG mess as they tend to spread the food all over the floor. They still nurse from Seven, but it's more of an calming and comforting action than it is a sustanance action. Seven is starting to lose interest, too, and will get up and leave if something catches her eye.
Big food mess!
They are using the litter box most of the time, as demonstrated by the kitten-sized presents.
The kittens don't always sleep in the nest now, and they tend to sleep in a big pile wherever the fall. Often, it's also wherever Seven was nursing them last. We have to be careful with the laundry basket, as the kittens have figured out how to climb the basket and sleep in it. They also tend to "play and sleep", meaning that one minute they are playing on your lap, and the next they are sound asleep. They are so cute.
