The puppies are beginning to be able to see and hear. At birth their eyes and ears are sealed shut. Then at about 2 weeks of age their eyes and ear canals begin to open. It takes the pups a few days to get used to the added input from their environment and some will cry if they hear a loud noise or if they see something looming over them - like me picking them up to be weighed.
But within a day or two they will take these new senses in stride and begin a new phase of interaction with the world around them.
