I don't know your phones, but there are multiple ways to achieve that. By far the easiest method 
is to work with multiple SIP identities. You can adjust quite a few parameters, like display 
text, ring tone, timings, forwarding ....

While you are busy with this, you can add additional accounts that operate as intercoms (baby 
monitors) so you don't have to wait for an answer. Interesting exercise, but might disturb peace 
in the house.

If your phone supports only a single identity, then you have to adjust caller ids, etc with 
Asterisk.
