Crawling Days.  A lot of moving around but still not quite ready to put together more than three crawling steps.....unless she is going backwards.  Backwards is no problem.  This is on Sunday at 11:10.  What Karen and I really like about these shots is that this is how we think Katie looks.  We get a lot of "drunk baby" shots but there was no flash on these due to the light pouring in the window and she looks great.  Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, 11:10 AM:

Katie loves her baths.  She even likes when I pour the water over her body and doesn't even complain when it goes in her eyes or mouth unless it's excessive.  She goes to be a water baby like her mother.  Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, 6:07 PM:
