We celebrated Sammie's 10-month birthday at the pumpkin patch. Watching him toddle around, eyes wide with wonder, was the highlight of my week. He even picked out his very own pumpkin... a massive 35-pound beauty that he could barely pat with his little hands. Once we got home, the real work began. I gave the pumpkin a good scrub to remove all the dirt from its outdoor adventure, then broke it down into sections. Removing the seeds was oddly satisfying, and I set them aside for roasting later. Each section was then cut into smaller, manageable pieces, perfect for baby-friendly recipes. After that, I bagged the pieces and tucked them into the freezer, thinking about the endless possibilities this one pumpkin holds. From creamy soups and silky purΓ©es to roasted bites Sammie can snack on as he grows, this pumpkin is going to serve up so much love. Itβs amazing how a simple trip to the patch turned into a freezer full of potential and memories weβll cherish forever. Happy 10-month, our little love π
