To Alberta and back

Mara was a model baby on the trip to Alberta last week. Travelling with our stroller wouldn’t have been practical, so we were lucky that Mara finally started to enjoy being taken along in the baby carrier.
Here we are in the food court at the West Edmonton Mall:
The temperature was much colder than we’re used to (so far this fall, at least). Minus 38! Mara wasn’t impressed with being bundled up, but she loved visiting with all her cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends of the family we introduced her to in Red Deer and Calgary.
Practising to wave?

Mara started swinging her arm around in a way I haven’t seen before… is it an attempt at a wave? Or just a new way of asking for a diaper change??
I managed to catch it on video, but once the camera was rolling she got her legs moving as well (without the camera she sometimes just moved her arm).

Little pea in a pod

Mara got to dress up as a pea in a pod for her first Halloween. She showed off her costume at her dad’s office on Friday and everyone thought she was incredibly cute. Back into costume again last night, to greet the few trick-or-treaters that came our way (the last batch of kids to come to our door were actually dropped off by minivan, and each one of them said to me “Oh, you have a baby!” — Mara was making some noise in the living room at that point).
James carved our classic pumpkin:
