While we're not moving far (about a mile away), September 1 is the busiest move-in day of the year around here because of the college crowd, so we're trying to mentally prepare for a couple days of craziness. In anticipation of having a moving truck on moving day, James and I went couch shopping this past weekend, and whaddya know? We found one! It's mossy green, very comfy, it fit our budget, and it definitely beats the crummy futon we've been hurting our backs and butts on over the past year. We bought it at [Jordan's](http://www.jordans.com/). [caption id="attachment_928" align="aligncenter" width="571" caption="James testing out our new couch"][![James testing out our new couch](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc04137.jpg?width=571&height=429&name=dsc04137.jpg "New Couch")](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc04137.jpg)[/caption] I also finally had a chance to refurbish the coffee table I bought for $5 a couple of months ago at the [Goodwill](http://www.goodwill.org) store. A few screws to fix the wobble, some sandpaper, a few fresh coats of black paint and some elbow grease later - BAM - a beautiful "new" coffee table! It's a bit large for the living room we have now, but it'll be just right in our new place. [caption id="attachment_929" align="aligncenter" width="580" caption="Our "new" coffee table "][![Our "new" coffee table ](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc04144.jpg?width=580&height=434&name=dsc04144.jpg "New Coffee Table")](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc04144.jpg)[/caption] James and I are looking forward to moving to a bigger space soon, and Emmett should be, too. It's fully carpeted for the little guy to crawl around to his heart's desire, and there's a lot more room for him to get into trouble. On another note, he's really been enjoying his solids lately, and he's truly starting to get the hang of it. Here's a lovely pic of the aftermath of a meal of sweet potatoes: [caption id="attachment_931" align="aligncenter" width="587" caption="Emmett loves sweet potatoes "][![Emmett loves sweet potatoes ](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc04120.jpg?width=587&height=441&name=dsc04120.jpg "Emmett Loves Sweet Potatoes ")](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/images/dsc04120.jpg)[/caption] *Check out some pics from James and my camping trip a couple of weekends ago on [my personal Flickr page](http://www.flickr.com/photos/pamelump).* **Age Timer: **7 months, 1 day Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [shopping](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/shopping), [apartment](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/apartment), [couch](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/couch), [moving](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/moving), [sweet potatoes](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/sweet-potatoes), [furniture](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/furniture) Search ### Subscribe by Email ### [![rss](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/hub/188884/file-313297286.png?width=34&height=36&name=file-313297286.png)](http://littlebabylump.com/rss.xml)   RSS Feed ### Recent Posts ### Popular Posts ### Posts by Month -
