I can smell my brother
and sister close by.

We have downy fur to keep us
warm. We sleep most
of the time.
This is me.

I am two weeks old now. My eyes
are open and I can see.
This is my mother.
She watches over me while I explore.
Where are my brothers and sisters?

I am very sleepy after
my dinner. I snuggle
with my sister for a nap.
Here they are! It is time for
Mom to feed us her warm milk.

I am one month old.
I am growing bigger
every day.
I explore the world
outside our den.
It looks exciting!

Now I am six weeks old.
My paws and claws are
getting bigger.
Oh, no! This empty
eggshell is stuck
on my nose.
I am looking for
