Puppies 5 week update!

The beans turned five weeks on Saturday! They are eating so much mush now they only nurse three to four times a day which seems to be a huge relief for Maja and a huge stresser at the same time. She really want them to nurse so she can eat their mush but we noticed if we dont give them much mush or mush at all Maja will get in the whelping box and regurgitate some food that she has eaten for them and they seem to like this quite a bit I on the other hand am thoroughly disgusted by this but hey though she is taking care of her babies what more can we ask for!
They have started licking us and various other objects that we dont think they should be licking (Like the box) They are biting quite a bit as well they are really seeming to get the hang of being a dog meaning licking or biting everything!
They also seem to be following things now most hands if you put you hand in or near the box where they can see it they eagerly follow it and try to lick or bite.
They all have a full set of puppy teeth now that hurt quite a bit when they bite you with them!
Lastly they seem to be playing a lot more they started playing around the four week mark (I dont know if I said that in the update for four weeks). They will now rough house with each other to the point where one will yelp from getting bit to hard or they will puppy pile on one and we have to break it up so that no one is picked on to much. Coco seems to be quite the bully though so if they pile on her we call it her just dos and let it happen because she is such a meany.
As can be seen below Maja is not to happy with the development of teeth

Messy Eaters

Maja and Monster have something common that drives me nuts. They are both very messy eaters. Maja cant eat her food unless she takes it out of her bowl. This inculds the messy treats that we give her like rice or chicken or anything with gravy. I have tried feeding her on the lament floors to reduce the mess but she will drag her bowl over to the carpet to eat or if we feed her wet food in one of those plastic little dishes she will pick it up and carry it over to the carpet. I try not to get mad at her but this drives me nuts and now her food is on my rug which is easy to clean and she takes it to the carpet that I dont have an easy time cleaning. I swear she is doing it just so she can laugh at me cleaning it up. Now Monster on the other hand likes to stick her paw in her wet food to eat it and then she flings her wet food off her paw once she has licked all the gravy off resulting in her wet food being on the walls. I think I would rather have her take the dry food to the carpet rather than splatter my walls with wet food.
Anyone else have these troubles with their pets? How did you solve the issue? Is it a solvable issue?


Does anyone else do this?

My roommate has been trying to impress on me not to play the shoulda, woulda, coulda game. For those of you that dont know what that is basi...
