Here is a thread about weighing kittens, Weighing Newborn Kittens (and How This Could Save Their Lives)

The kittens should be gaining at minimum 7-8 grams a day. So they are all tracking along okay. Kitten 1 seems to be doing the best while the others are a little on the lower end, especially kitten 4. It might be a good idea to supplement feedings a little for 2-4 just to make sure they don't start slipping.

Keep an eye on kitten 1. This one gained only 1 gram in the last day. The others all gained well.
