2009 January 25, Sunday (First Wave)

Katie's first wave!  Well, there have been a lot of little attempts recently.  When someone waves she will kind of hold her hand out and wiggle it.  For some reason today, she really started getting into the whole reach the arm out thing.  So Karen grabbed the camera, waved and Katie responded back not just with a good wave but the whole Vulcan "live long and prosper" thing.  Note the Padres Monkey (Dirty Monkey) and the Starbucks Turkey Bear in the background.  At home, Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, 12:49 PM:
