Happy mama, happy babies.

Not much happens around here except snuggles and nursing. We weigh the puppies twice a day, and everyone is gaining weight perfectly. The pups also get visits in the whelping box multiple times a day for snuggles and mandatory ooo-ing and awww-ing. 

I snapped a photo yesterday with them napping in birth order, #1 (m) on the far left and #4 (m) on the far right.



Dilly has been taking a few watchful breaks this weekend. She camped out with me this afternoon while I graded student papers. She has also been quite playful between naps, cleanings, and nursing rounds. It's great to see Dilly (almost) back to her normal energy. She asks to come out for meals now, too. What dog would want to miss sitting next to an eating toddler? 


We hope to settle on registered names soon. It's been a hot debate in our household. While the adults have agreed upon a cheese litter theme (yay Wisconsin!), someone seems to think we should name one Aurora and the other three all Louie. (We currently have a stuffed rabbit, three pie birds, and multiple plastic farm animals named Louie...) Her original plan was to just name them each Dilly Dog Puppy.

I'll leave you with a little puppy love for the evening!
