What a fun Christmas for the babies – they got to meet most of their cousins in one shot! The babies had fun with Nevin, Nivan, Anika, Ayana, Gia, Rohan, Rhea, and Sanya....21 family members in all including the adults. Good times! We also were very happy to meet our newest family members, Gargee & Nivan, with the marriage of my eldest brother, Sanjay.
We took advantage of the rare family gathering and got a few photos done at the studio..boy was it ever difficult to get 21 people to keep their eyes open and smile!
Lots of activity over the last month....
We said bye to Betty-Ann who’s been our nanny for the last 8 months. She’s been absolutely fantastic and we will miss her dearly. Betty is moving to Italy to be with her husband. We say hello to Juvy, our new live-in nanny who’s come all the way from Hong Kong! We’re very excited to have Juvy as part of our family.
Incredible speech explosion all around!! Not only are they singing full songs on their own but they're saying the darnest things. The other day Jaiden told Geeta, as she climbed the stairs, to "be careful Mamma - don't fall". Ariya has become "Ms. Manners". She says 'please' when asking for something and is quick to say 'thank you' when she gets it. Kailen will say 'bless you' when someone sneezes! All three can count to 5 on their own and up to 10 with a little help. They are growing up so fast.
Naming body parts has become very popular in the Gera household....especially pointing/poking eyes :) The other day, Ariya was in our bed while Geeta and I were still trying to grab a bit of sleep...she used one hand to open my eye lid and the other to poke it while saying, “eye”....very good Ariya Bella but not the nicest way to wake up daddy...but of course too cute for me to get upset at! KK also loves pointing out eyes and will often give you a good poke when you least expect it.
KK has become a bit more aggressive, often pushing around JJ or bugging Ariya. It’s amazing how often their personalities change. Last month JJ was the aggressive one and it has been a complete turnaround in just 4 weeks. The boys love the rough play and often climb on the sofas and walk off the plank...they call it ‘tumble tumble’.
Happy New Years!
