Oh For Crying Out Loud

Matt Ellsworth — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 06:48:33 +0000

Okay, so you can now safely ignore all of the hub-bub about their being two versions of ellsworthlink.net… I wasn’t happy with the solution and kept digging and was able to find a solution to migrate everythign over to the “new” ellsworthlink.net which is conveniently located at … ellsworthlink.net

So you’ll never need to come to old.ellsworthlink.net again. In fact this is the last post you’ll see on this URL until I am 100% certain I haven’t lost anything and will simply delete this off the face of the interweb.

Buh and bye.

The Migration Begins…

We’re upgrading our blog from an older version of WordPress to a fancy new version. While I’m doing that, I’m also revamping a lot of the back-end infrastructure to make sure some stuff that wasn’t working before does now (including those of you who aren’t yet using RSS readers and have signed up for email notification of new post) and include some new functionality I’ve been wanting to include for—embarrassingly—years now.

In any event, if you run into any wonkiness in the near future that would be why!

Mystic Aquarium

We had a great time up in Mystic for Father’s Day. One of Colin’s favorite aspects of the Aquarium was this guy—the beluga whale.

Colin’s New Table

Colin (and Hannah when she is old enough to appreciate it) got a new table. It’s got lots of uses, and most likely will be mainly a train table for awhile. It has a roll of paper and storage underneath. Mommy and Daddy are so excited about it! Right now it’s in the living room, but once we move out the glider it will be going in Colin’s room.

I tried very hard to get a smile, this was the best Colin would do. Mostly he kept saying cheese over and over looking away from the camera. Silly goose!

Just Another Day

Our cousins John & Amanda Pool stopped by a couple weekends ago on his way to a conference in Spain and her way to her sister’s house in Brooklyn (both equidistant, basically, for homebody New Jerseyans…). We had fun walking around Hoboken and just catching up. John snapped some great shots of Colin while we were out and about. My favorite is the fountain shot, hands down, although the ATM picture is pretty funny. John might remember the actual quote, but Colin was saying something like, “I need some money, please!” as he walked away from the machine.

A Few (More) of My Favorite Pics

These pictures all came from a fun little trip to the Central Park Zoo we shared with Stenning, Heather and Devin Schueppert—thanks for joing us, guys, and the great photos!

Height and Weight Check

Deb Ellsworth — Wed, 28 May 2008 17:16:39 +0000

Colin and Hannah had doctor’s appointments today. Hannah had her 4 month well baby and Colin had a follow up on his shoulder. Both had weight and height measurements taken.

Colin is 36 lbs and 3 ft 2 in tall. He is still at the 95% of the growth charts, but at least he is now actually on them as opposed to way above them.

Hannah is 14 lbs 3 oz and almost 24 inches long. She is almost perfectly average. Above average beauty though…

While we were looking at Hannah’s growth charts we decided to check out where Colin was at this same time. Well, at his 2 month appointment he weight 16 lbs!!! By 6 months he was over 20 lbs. Whew, I remember he was big but wow. I like having an average sized baby.

Hannah is currently napping in her brand new crib. It takes up a bit more room than the co sleeper (which is being returned because Joe’s sister is having a baby in the next few weeks) but it can still fit next to my bed for easy nursing at night and goes to 35 pounds.

Water is on at the local parks so once Hannah wakes up we are off to get soaking wet in the sprinklers.
