Mikey's pumpkin is bigger as he used Bernat Super Value for his instead of Lily Sugar'n Cream Cotton. The change of yarn changes the sizes of the pumpkin.
To be transparent. I had a few issues with the stuffing. During the crocheting portion, I felt I overstuffed it... After I was done and the stitches settled out a few minutes later, I realized my pumpkin looked deflated. I made a secret hole in the bottom of my pumpkin to add more stuffing to it.
I also manipulated the stem to have a slight bend as most pumpkins never have a straight stem. It's a more artistic license at this point.

Love your pumpkins Mikey just a tip from me. If you want to be able to bend your pumpkin stem try using a pipe cleaner inserted in the middle of the stem and stuff around it, it will stay put and you can bend your stem which ever way you want. Happy Crocheting HALLOWEEN
