We got the results back today from Ethan's last Hyperphe test. His levels cam back at 3.7 which is pretty much the lowest we have seen his levels get. We have been keeping his daily protein intake to 30g/day. We were told that we could let him have about 35g/day & then have him tested again in Dec just before his next appt.

What a day!!!
Ethan had a busy day yesterday. First he went to get his pictures for Halloween. He looked so cute in his Harry Potter costume. After than we ran home changed his clothes then off to visit some of Grandpa Jim's family. After that it was too late to put him down for a nap so it was a short visit to Grampa Frank then off to visit his great-grandpa. By the time we got home it was 6:30. We had been gone since 10:45. Today he is a bit on the cranky side but he is his usual active self of getting into everything.
Here is a sneak peak at his Halloween pictures.

Look what I discovered how to do!!
I was trying to capture a quick video of Ethan dancing tonight but unfortunately was too slow. I had never used the web cam on my computer before. However Ethan showed me how to use it & we captured a video of him. It's pretty cute. Thought I would post it.

Ethan had a great time Saturday night at Chris & Lisa's wedding. Before the bridal party arrived he was getting down with his bad self to Celine Dion. He danced himself right off the chair he was standing on. Ethan got to eat his dinner with our good friend Michael who he hasn't seen since November. It was great to see him again. After dinner Ethan found himself a couple older women to flirt with. He was all about running around & dancing. Deanna & I took him out onto the dance floor but he spotted his daddy & he was all about getting to daddy. It was a good time.
Yesterday Ethan decided to feed himself with a fork for the first time. I let him try with a spoon but the wall ended up wearing a little of his breakfast so I said no. He likes to hold spoons upside down so I think we'll let him master the fork first. I was so proud I was able to get video of it on my cell phone I'll try to get that posted soon. My computer is not yet set up to take video off my phone.
Ethan's Halloween costume is pretty much completed. He's going to be baby Harry Potter. Matt & I are hoping to find some costumes so we can dress as James & Lily Potter (Harry's parents). He's going to look so cute.

Busy, busy, busy, there's so much to do
Ethan has been one busy little boy lately. Last week, Thursday, the Steelers opened up the 2009 NFL season with a win. Ethan was all ready for the game wearing his Steelers warm-up outfit. Saturday he went with us to the annual chicken BBQ at my parents church. He enjoyed his chicken. Of course what he didn't eat Matt polished off for him. For dessert he had some chocolate cake. Of course Ethan was wearing his buckeyes too. He got to watch some of the game before going to bed. Sunday Ethan wore his Brown warm-up outfit but there was no Browns game to watch. He got to see a bit of the Packers game. He & I were rooting for the Bears. We had too. What fun would it be to go for the Packers, then that would have made my friend Adriane happy. LOL. Football is no fun if we can't trash talk. Yesterday Ethan & I took a walk around the area. He fell asleep. It's really amazing that I do all the manual work & he gets tired out.
Also last week he had his 15 mos checkup with the pediatrician. He's a little above the 10% for his height & weight & in the 25% for his head circumference. He has totally caught up now & is right where he should be for 15 mos. He is up to date with his vaccinations. We are choosing not to give him the flu vaccine, neither of us believe much in it. Be forewarned though that this winter if anyone is sick they will not be allowed in the house or around Ethan (or us for that matter). We are going to to what we can to prevent him from getting sick.

Ethan's Day at the Fair
We took Ethan to the Fulton County Fair today. It was his 1st trip to a fair. Ethan had the time of his life there. He had a blast touching the cows, goats, sheep, & horses. He tried to stick his fingers in the rooster cages but we wouldn't let him. He got to watch a sheep shearing demonstration & a horse show. He loved the horses. He thought it was funny to touch their noses. We wanted to take him on the ferris wheel but it was way too pricey. We also looked at brand new cars that were on display. My favorite was the Dodge Nitro. I don't think Ethan had a favorite he was more interested in walking around. I'm looking forward to taking him next year.
