Don't Blink

I know people say it all the time, but it is indeed true that these little kids grow up very quickly. I will admit, however, that it probably wouldn't seem like Ethan's growing up so fast if Alan and I would just stop trying to make him do grown-up things, but I get such a kick out of it! :) Here we have Ethan writing a thank you letter for his Christmas gifts.
Next, we have a display of Ethan's ability to completely surprise me. All of a sudden he sits right up in his chair to grab a toy! Needless to say, we'll be strapping him in from now on! Can you tell this was taken later in the day when we've gotten every toy in the house out to keep him entertained? :)
