Uniquely Jaide

There are many similarities between Jaide and her older siblings. They all make the same humming sounds while they fall asleep. (I call it the 睡觉歌) They all like to put many fingers into their mouth to self-soothe (though Jaide seems to favor her thumb) and love to sit up in the pram and lean forward to lick/suck/chew at the bar in front. On the MRT train, whenever the stroller is pushed up against the metal grab pole, they will inadvertently strain forward to hold onto it. It did take Jayna a long time to reach this stage though, since she was not content to be in the pram till she was more than a year old.

Perhaps both being girls, Jayna and Jaide are alike in more ways. They both have this thing about sucking in their lips. They have a sweet tooth while Joash has a savory tooth. The two girls also simply love to bounce on their butts when they're happy.

However, Jaide has a few traits that are uniquely hers. Firstly, she's the only one who enjoys growling, to the utter amusement of her siblings and strangers alike. People simply can't believe that the menacing sounds actually come from such a sweet little thing like her.

You can hear it in the below video:

Next, her tongue is really long and flexible and she often shows it off by sticking out her tongue.

See how long my tongue is!

She also has this really cute habit of pursing her lips repeatedly. Watch the video clip below to see what I mean. *grin*


I wonder if she'll fall asleep while holding her bottle and drinking milk too, just like her brother and sister when they were babies...
