Baby Ryan Rockwell

Born 8:16:30 PM, 15 December 2006, La Jolla, California.

8 pounds, 12.2 ounces (3,975g). 20" (51 cm).

The technical gobbledygook after each shot is the equipment I used for each photo. Many photographer friends ask.

Ryan's first shower: We got back so late from Noni's pool last night that Ryan was already asleep, so he missed his bath.

This morning Daddy is in the shower, and Ryan walks in after Ryan woke up. Ryan was a little confused at first by the water, but then got under and had the time of his life.

Daddy shampooed and washed him, and then Ryan shampooed and washed himself about twice over before we called it time to get out.

Ryan and the Pear

Ryan is done with his pear. (Nikon D40, Nikon SB-400 flash, Nikon 18-55mm at 55mm, P mode chose f/5.6 at 1/60, no exposure compensation, Auto ISO chose ISO 200, Auto -3 WB.)

Ryan headed to Noni's pool again, and spent about an hour and a half in the water with Dad. First, Ryan wanted to be lifted up and dropped into the water — about a thousand times:

Then Dad got Ryan on a boogie board:

Ryan and Uncle Kevin

Ryan and Cousin Molly

Ryan hugs his cousin Molly. Ryan loves hugging everyone. (two above indoors: Nikon D40, Nikon SB-400 flash, Nikon 18-55mm, P mode chose 1/60 at f/5, Auto ISO chose ISO 200, Auto -3 WB.)

Ryan's cousins are in from Northern California, so Ryan went to go visit them at Noni's.
