babies
Youngest family members
Babies is the plural of baby—human infants or the very young of other species.
The word extends to anyone treated as immature or helpless: Don't be such babies about it.
Projects or creations someone feels protective of become their babies: This startup is my baby.
As a term of endearment, babies addresses multiple loved ones: Hey babies, I'm home.
