The little library thief

Yet another overdue Caleb update...

Caleb is still a total sponge, absorbing everything he sees and copying. Here's one sponge-related tidbit:

Grandma Shen has been taking Caleb to the library several times a week (there's one walking distance from our house, across from a park where he plays almost every day). Aparently, he's observed my mom pick out books/videos and check them out using the electronic checkout stand. About a month ago, Caleb picked out a video (a Russian Video!) and pushed the library stool to the electronic checkout stand. Took my mom's keychain, climbed up the stool, and placed the correct library card key fob underneath the red library card bar code scanner. (Pretty impressive that he got it to scan too! Mommy has trouble with it sometimes :P). He then put the video underneath the scanner as well. He then got off the stool with his video and started to walk out! But since he didn't key in the pin number (the key pad is too high for him), it didn't actually get checked out and the alarms started to sound as Caleb tried ot make a break for it with the Russian video. My mom picked him up and the librarian came out to find the little guilty culprit. Since that first time, Caleb has attempted this same heist at least 2 other times as Grandma Shen looked on. :)

Since I'm usually the one taking the gazillion Caleb pics & videos, I don't have a picture of this :( But here's a random pic of Caleb playing at the library.



Hmmmm...much more to say, and many other stories, but for now I'll leave you with pictures!

Pics of Caleb from Birth through 18 months have been uploaded here: http://picasaweb.google.com/littlebabytang

Pics of Caleb from 18 months up can be found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/calebtylertang

Admittedly, I'm terrible at keeping blogs up to date. But I have been pretty good about keeping these pics up to date.

some quick highlights from his 18th month:

- hanging out with his "girlfriends" (yes, there's 4 total). He loves to share with them and *gasp* even holds Yvette's hand.
- Playing with Grandma & Grandpa Shen
- trying to "kick" in his kungfu outfit from china
- hanging out (and giving hugs) to his cousin Christopher
- and lots of fake smiles.
