Daily Peep: Yet Another Pumpkin Patch

I swear, I have seen more fucking pumpkins in the last six weeks than in my previous forty-plus years.

Today it was the local "(Family Name) Potato and Produce Barn: The Farm in the City."

There were pumpkins of all sizes, shapes, colors and varieties, and Peeper loved every one of them.




There were also animals to pet and feed: sheep, goats, bunnies, chickens, donkeys and minature horses (one of whom bit Peeper, but she got over it) and friends from the MOMS club, both small and tall.


They had a really cool play area set up for the little ones.






And a store, where we bought some local honey (they keep bees there, too) and some "harvest frosted" pretzels (dipped in icing, and drizzled with chocolate and orange-colored icing) and saw the coolest (according to Peeper) pumpkin of all.

  2. Yep, 12 months. She had some on her birthday.

    (And, at any rate, *I'm* old enough!)

  3. Rules schmools. S is already eating shrimp and scallops. Happened by accident the first time, but no terrible reaction, and she loves them, so wth-- she's a shellfish eater at 20 months.

  5. I'm pretty sure Peeper had shrimp before she was a year old. (And fwiw, BabyBro's twins got the "all clear" for seafood at a year.)
