The Shaw Family

Doug & I were married on October 6, 2005 in the Salt Lake Temple. We are currently living in the Dallas, Texas area. We have two sons, Gavin Douglas born September 18, 2009 & Liam Robert born October 14, 2011. We are so happy to be a family of four & love our boys so much! It is always one adventure after another in this house.

My Boys

So I completely forgot to put up Liam's 2 month stats back in December so here they are. 
Weight: 13 lbs (76%)
Height: 23 in (51%)
Head: 16 3/4 in (94%)
He is quite the big boy! Gavin didn't weigh that much until he was 4 months old. And I'm glad to say that at least Liam's noggin is still on the chart. :) My boys have large heads that's for sure!

Since being back in Buffalo we have pretty much been staying home. The cold weather doesn't phase Gavin, but it's too cold to take Liam out in it for play. We've had fun playing in the house, making cookies. In fact, Gavin probably asks me on a daily basis if we can make cookies. :) I hate saying no all the time & wish we could, but that would definitely create a problem with me trying to lose this baby weight. 
 
I just love watching Liam grow & discover new things. He is very aware of his surroundings & hates it when we leave the room. He likes to sit up & see all the action. 

Sitting in the bumbo....
can get rather boring... except for when big brother plays & talks with me!

Such cute brothers!


I love that after every time Gavin would "coo" at him, Liam would do it back.
And of course as soon as I took Liam out of the bumbo, Gavin had to have his turn. And he thought it was the funniest thing!



This is what I get these days when I ask him to say "cheese".

Daddy showing off his new trick with Liam.

I just want to munch on those cheeks! And that one dimple is to die for! :)

 Gavin loves his daddy & wanted to wear his sweatshirt. Go Utes!
And some darling expressions of Liam.

This is Doug & Gavin 'Dance Fighting'! After filming this I asked Doug where he came up with 'Dance Fighting' & apparently it is off of the movie 'Puss N' Boots' which they watched that morning. :)

After a big snow storm the boys headed out to play. They made a snowman, snow angels & a sledding hill. Nothing better than using a trash can lid for a sled right?! :)

 A little tummy time!


After we got home from Utah we transitioned Gavin into a new room & into a big boy bed. Which has been wonderful! He does really well at nights. Naps however are slowly going away :( He does do 'Quiet Time' in his room though so at least I get a small break. Anyways, my point is that on the days that Gavin does NOT get a nap he is SO flippin tired by dinnertime. We have caught it on video a couple of the many times this has happened.


My sleepy boy!

Oh that Liam is precious! And he looks just like his big brother, Gavin! Bet you haven't heard that before. Keep the pictures coming.

I can't believe how big Liam is getting! That dance fighting is hysterical ... as is the falling asleep at the table. Funny boys!

Way cute - all the pics and videos help me feel like I am right there with you all watching these two cuties grow up. The sleepy one made me chuckle and it is so cute seeing Gavin and Liam interact. Thanks
