We're 10 Months Old!

Our munchkins are ten months old today!

Amazing how fast time is flying by and how quickly the little ones are developing. In the last month alone, Jaiden and Kailen have become expert crawlers while Ariya is so close to becoming mobile. Jaiden has his first two teeth just about to cut through - you can see them bulging out of his bottom gums. Kailen has learned to dance - when his favourite music comes on, he kneels and bounces up and down to the beat. They have learned to clap their hands, and they are all learning to stand up and walk with mommy and daddy's support. All of them are becoming little parrots. I think it safe to say that for all three, 'Baba' was their first word. 'Baba' was a pet name that we adopted for Kailen (aka KK) since he was just a few months old...it's a common Indian pet name :) Our former nanny, Sarah, used to call him that as well and I think all of them have picked up that word over time. For Kailen especially, it is his favourite word. When Kailen went through his 'aggressive' period a couple of months ago we trained him to say 'baba baba baba' instead of yelling...so now when he gets mad he says 'baba baba' in a strong tone, and when he's happy he sings it in a melodic tone. Other common words are 'mamma' and 'dadda'. It's pretty neat to see how they call out for 'mama' now. At night, when they get scared sometimes you'll often hear them calling for 'mama'.

What else is new?

Well, as expected the little timbits are starting to compete for attention. When one gets mommy or daddy's attention the other is hot on their heels to steal it. They compete for toys and often punish each other by pulling the other's hair. Since all of them have had rapid hair growth over the last month!... there is lots to pull on and it's not uncommon to hear a shriek of pain when mommy and daddy can't keep an eye on all three. We do our best to time slice our time and make it fair - no doubt one of the challenges of being a triplet parent!
