Baby Ryan Rockwell   (sister Katie 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.

See Ryan help rock baby Katie gently to sleep. (may need free Quicktime Video Player.)

Ryan and milk bottle

Ryan's such a piggy-poo (like his dad) that he's decided to go straight to the source! Enough of those little bottles! (Casio EX-V8)

Volvo

Ryan's favorite thing in the whole world is to play in our cars. This morning, after he had a bottle, he grabbed my thumb, and dragged me down to the garage where he played in each of the cars. (Casio EX-V8, "soft" flash.)

18 May 2008, Sunday

Ryan has grown two inches this weekend. He is now tall enough to turn the lights ON as well as OFF, tapping Decora switches. He also can grab the remote control from the top of mom's 300-pound CRT HDTV.

Ryan's vocabulary expands. He can mumble:

Mama

Dada

Open

Elmo

Oh oh

Nana

Buster (our big dog)

And Ryan understands the words:

Nipple (if you say this near him, expect a couple of purple nurples)

Button

Baby (kisses mom's tummy, holding baby Katie)

Nose (gets your nose twisted)

Ear (maybe)

 

Ryan eating straw

09 May 2008, Friday

Ryan is now a leader of men: he's learned to grab our thumb (or toe) and pull us to something he wants us to do for him. Why do it himself when he can have someone else do it for him? As a leader, he's learned that far more is accomplished by guiding others than trying to do it yourself.

Having fancy tools doesn't mean you know what to do with them. (Don't worry, mom only feeds the dogs fresh, filtered and purified water. Canon SD770)
