well...it surely has been an interesting week. 
I have been feeling a tooth in Jack's mouth for awhile and I finally saw it and was able to grab a picture of it (double click the pic to see it in a better fashion). It completely reminds me of when Eban had his first tooth but Eban got his around 6 months. Jack will be 9 months old on July 2.
This weekend, grandpa Bob came up and Eban, Jack, grandpa and I hit the Louisville Recreation Center's Touch a Truck Day. I had no idea what to expect and told grandpa that there could be 3 or 10 people there...that I had no idea.
As we arrived, it was a parking lot!! Cars were parked two blocks away, there were cops directing traffic and we could see a TON of people with kids. The cops directed us into the immediate parking lot and we got a great spot. As we were driving in, we saw fire trucks (big hit), an oil tanker, a tractor, an ambulance, a dairy truck, a bus, a mini-bus, a forest ranger car, police cars, etc. 
All the kids could touch all of these vehicles and get in the driver's seat and pretend to drive. It was crazy crazy crazy....and I loved it! But Eban loved it more!
Since Eban can't say grandpa, he calls grandpa "Bob" and he wanted Bob to go everywhere so he could touch everything. He loved the fire trucks...he needed assistance to get into some huge steamroller type of vehicle and he even had his first glass of chocolate milk which he devoured while sitting on the front of a fire truck. He was so happy...at one point, I 
told him we needed to stay in the shade and take it easy...and I told him it was because Jack couldn't be in the sun. Well...he was practically crawling in the stroller so he could pull on Jack's outfit or arm and was telling Jack that they needed to go see the fire truck. Check out the video below-
Eban has also learned a new phrase. It's "go away momma" and it kills me. He's just so lucky I love him so much! Anyway, we have a routine at night and in the morning. In the morning after I pick him up out of his crib, he walks downstairs all by himself like a big boy. Well, he usually holds onto my fingers or at least two fingers while he does this task, but earlier this week, he looked up at me and insisted that I go away. 
He even said "Go away momma" as he gave me a stiff arm. I couldn't believe it. So as I was watching him I asked him where he learned this new sentence. I asked him if he learned this at school. He happily said no. I asked him if he learned it from Nani...again, the answer was no. So then I asked him if he learned if from Jack and the reply was an, "OH YAH!" 
So as I was washing Eban this week, I noticed a little brown spot smack dab in the middle of his right butt cheek. As I was scrubbing...and then continuing to scrub as I couldn't believe I was unsuccessful with my cleaning duties, I realized after a while (after Eban said Ow-EEEE) that it was his first freckle.
