Shane Bieber’s wife pens touching note for son, Kav, highlighting precious moments through the lens

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber and his wife, Kara Maxine, have had an eventful year. The duo welcomed their first child this year before relocating to a new city.

Kara gave birth to their son, Kav McClain, in March. However, the first-time parents had to move to a new city after the Cleveland Guardians traded Shane Bieber to the Blue Jays in July.

She shared a heartwarming moment in her Instagram story on Thursday where Kav was playing in her lap. Kara captioned the post:

"Stay this little in my lap forever please."

Bieber and his wife shared celebratory moments with their son after the Blue Jays concluded the regular season on Sunday, winning the AL East title. Kara posted pictures from their celebration at Rogers Centre with the couple embracing their son in one of the pictures.

"Let's keep it rollin, eh?"

The post drew a reaction from Texas Rangers All-Star Corey Seager's wife, Madisyn.

"Kav is vibinnn," Madisyn commented.

Shane Bieber's wife, Kara, shared "memories" with their son Kav

Kara has been a constant presence at Rogers Centre and often takes her son to cheer for Blue Jays ace Shane Bieber. In an Instagram last month, Kara showcased Bieber playing with Kav at Rogers Centre.

"Stashing memories," Kara captioned her post.

Kara and their son Kav will be rooting for the former Cy Young winner and the Blue Jays in the American League Division Series, starting on Saturday. The AL East winners will be up against division rivals, New York Yankees, in a best-of-five series.

While the Blue Jays held a superior record against the Yankees in the regular season, the Bronx Bombers are coming off a mmorale-boosting win against the Boston Red Sox in the wild-card series to extend their postseason journey.
