labs this am, clinic tmrw

Nice quick easy lab draw this morning...much improved from last time. We have clinic tmrw afternoon so we'll have a doc update then. Meanwhile, Mario is doing well, moving around a lot and being more like a big boy every day. Our latest big step last week: No more bottle except for bedtime!
