Oooohhhhh, so cute! What you have there is a little blue point! My favorite of all! I love the name, too. What a surprise to have a perfectly pointed kitten in such a mixed litter!
Just as a note, a seal point is the very dark colored Siamese, with an almost black face, ears, feet and so on. Cats with color on their extremities are collectively known as "pointed" or "color-pointed" cats.
As for the black one, he will be called a solid black, either domestic short hair (DSH) or domestic long hair (DLH), depending on what his hair length is.
Sounds like a beautiful little family!

Expertise
The areas in which I have gained the most experience are cat health and feral cat management/rescue. I provide supportive care to chronically ill cats, hospice care to terminally ill cats and also am involved in trap-neuter-return efforts. My specialities lie in taming feral cats and in the allopathic treatment of cats with illnesses or special needs. I also have owned Siamese, Himalayans, Abyssinians, Russian Blues, Savannahs, Bengals, Peterbalds, Don Sphynx and Oriental Shorthairs and am well-versed in cat breeds as well as cat behavior and nutrition.
Experience
I have 15 years of extensive experience with cats ranging from breeding to medical care. My daily routine consists of caring for cats with diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney failure, feline leukemia, feline AIDS as well as feral cats. I have experience with liver patients, heart patients, feline infectious peritonitis, cancer, recovery from amputation and trauma, congenital deformities and most every disease in between. I have assisted cats giving birth and hand-nursed kittens who were neglected by their mother from 2 days old through weaning.
