Caleb's "girlfriends"

I've mentioned Caleb's "girlfriends" before in the past and have gotten lots of questions about them. :)

First of all, let me clarify that this is not something I started. :) My mom (very graciously) stays up in Nor Cal to take care of Caleb. Since she's come, she takes Caleb to the nearby park and library everyday. My outgoing mother quickly made friends with my neighbors as well. One of the neighbors has a little girl just a few months younger than Caleb named Sanjie (but they all call her by her nickname "Gua Gua" because she likes to eat squash). Gua Gua's mom started to call Caleb "Gua Gua's Boyfriend" and would tell Caleb he had to be nice to his "future mother-in-law" etc. When I would get home from work, my mom would tell me about what Caleb did during the day and she'd refer to Gua Gua as "Caleb's girlfriend." Later, a "second girlfriend" came along as another girl, Yvette, started joining the library crew. The mothers called both girls "Caleb's Girlfriend." Actually, they started fighting over which girl gets to be Caleb's "second wife" because they said the guys like the second wife better than the first wife (yes, very sketchy. But again, not my idea! I was at work during these conversations!)

So, anyway, here's some tidbits about Caleb's girlfriends:

Girlfriend #1
Sanjie (aka "Gua Gua")

Tidbits:

• Caleb knows her name and recognizes her house. When he sees her or when he walks by her house, he points and shouts "Gua Gua!"
• Caleb also *gasp* kissed her on the lips. (He kisses people on the check if you say "Caleb, give ___ a kiss." When we said to give Gua Gua a kiss, he kissed her on the lips!
• Gua Gua cried instantly when she saw Caleb holding Yvette's (Girlfriend #2) hand.
• Gua Gua lives just a few houses down the street, so they see each other most often

Girlfriend #2
Yvette

Tidbits:

• Yvette was the first baby that Caleb held hands with.
• Yvette was also the first "baby girl" that Caleb kissed on the lips. As they were leaving the library, my mom told Caleb to give Anita (Yvette's mom) a kiss. He kissed her on the lips. She then told Caleb to give Yvette a kiss. He then kissed her on the lips! :O Don't worry Caleb, I won't tell your real future girlfriend...unless she reads this blog. :P

Girlfriend #3 and Girlfriend #4
Abby & Minna

Abby:


Mina:

Tidbits:

• These are the "older women" babies in Caleb's life. They're also buddies from the library. They just joined the others in being "Caleb's Girlfriends" since Caleb is the only boy baby :)
  

Caleb's "Just friends" Girl Buddies
These are Caleb's baby girl buddies. Since they're not library friends, they didn't join the "Caleb Girlfriends" bandwaggon. :P

• The Greek Girl

She spoke nothing but Greek, so I don't know her name. But she wouldn't leave our table and kept wanting to touch Caleb and tickle him. She's definitly in the "older women" category!

Eleanora

This little cutie is definitely not shy, but Caleb's always been shy around her :( But they enjoyed a little forced fun at the coach's bbq a few months ago. :)

Taylor

She actually gave Caleb his first friendly (not on the lips. phew!) kiss back when he was 6 months old. At first he kept pushing her away, but he warmed up to her after a while :)
