My sweet boy

Oh I just love those eyes and your sweet smile. 

Toy Box

You were a little cranky tonight so I put you in your little toy bin with some toys.  You loved it! 

Party Animal

It's 1:25am and I just thought I'd post before I go to bed.  Wondering why I'm not in bed yet?  Well you are quite the party animal and have decided that sleep is for sissies!  Yes you were up until 1:15am tonight.  I put you to bed at 8am and then you woke up at 9:45 and were up until 1:15.  We walked, and rocked, and cried, and talked, and then you pooped your diaper and played happily with toys for a half hour and finally at 1am you finished the rest of your bottle and went to sleep.  You were exhausted, wouldn't let go of that bottle but kept looking up at me and then would close your eyes because they were to heavy to keep open anymore.  I just snuggled you because I couldn't stand to put you down after such a long night.  I have been thinking about the families in the Colorado shooting and it makes me want to hold you just a little bit longer, actually to hug all my boys just a little bit tighter.  I'm so grateful for you and I know these sleepless nights will soon be gone so I'll cherish the time that I'm able to sit with you and rock you.  I love you my sweet little partying all night boy!

GG and Grandpa Roberts

I love both of these sets of hands.  I saw a picture like this on pinterest and so when we were at my grandma's house I somehow talked her into letting my sister take pictures of hers and your hands. Both beautiful!  I love GG's hands and all the life, love, happiness, trials, faith, enduring, helping, and beauty that they represent.  I love your hands and how they are perfect waiting to experience life, love, and all that that brings.  I am so grateful for my family, for you and for GG!
The other pictures I took at Lucas's baptism.  We sat with GG and grandpa and they held you and played with you and kept you happy.  I love watching them play with you and remembering them playing with me when I was a child.  They are both amazing people!

Brothers

Today we were looking at baby books to see when all the boys started scooting all over the place.  I thought Spencer was early but it turns out the rest of them were scooting at 6 1/2 months and crawling by 8 months, so Spencer is right there with them.  Blake was looking at Ty's baby book and saw a picture of Braden kissing Ty.  He giggled and said, "Braden kissed Ty on the forehead, I kiss Spencer on the cheek so then who kissed Braden?"  I told him that I kissed Braden and he laughed and said, "Yep and so did dad." 

Blake loves Spencer and finds so much enjoyment with him.  He had my phone today and was making videos of Spencer and then showing Spencer to get him to scoot around the floor. 

Cabin 2012

We went to the cabin for our annual Roberts Reunion.  You were such a trooper on the drive.  We made it to Twin Falls without stopping.  It was a miracle and I was so glad because I was driving with you, Ty, and Blake and dad was over an hour behind us with Braden and Jace. 
You decided to perfect your scooting while at the cabin and you are moving all over the place.  You also get up on your knees and then leap yourself forward.  I was constantly picking stuff up off the floor so you wouldn't get it and also moving you back to the middle of the floor. 
You had lots of aunts to love on you and also your uncle Caleb who would hold you lots as well.  Heather would always come get you and play with you as well.  First thing in the morning Harley and her friend Kyla would come ask me where you were so they could say hello!  They loved holding you as well as Logan.  Charlottle and Elizabeth loved you as well and would play with you on the floor. 
Lots of people ended up sick with the flu at the cabin and I was hoping you wouldn't catch anything.  You didn't seem like you were feeling good but you didn't throw up and we were so glad. 
You have decided that you are a party animal at night and you didn't end up going to bed until like 11pm and then you would wake up every couple of hours.  It was a rough few nights so one night Aunt Mellonee told me she would keep you while I slept.  She kept you from midnight to 5am, it was the best 5 hours of sleep for me.   Not so much for her, you didn't sleep for very long.  You were asleep but then you would squirm and cry and she would have to walk you.  She walked you for over an hour, rocked you, laid on the floor with you and just kept you happy and tried to keep you asleep.  I was so grateful and I'm so glad you have aunts to help take care of you.

We were there for a week and enjoyed playing at the beach.  You loved the sand but then started eating it so I had to pull you back on the blanket.  You weren't to happy with the water because it was so cold. 

Cabin - July 4th

We went to the cabin over July 4th as a family.  On the drive there we met Poppy and Grandma in Twin Falls for an early dinner.  Then we drove the rest of the way up to the cabin, by the time we got there you had had it with being in your car seat.  We took you out and you rolled all over the cabin floor.  We were dying laughing because usually you roll a little and move in circles but this time it was fully rolling across the room.  It helps that the cabin has carpet and at home it's wood floors but still it was so funny.  You also learned to scoot across the floor while we were there.  If there was a water bottle or a cord you would go for it.  You loved the beach but not the freezing cold water and you loved dad to hold you while he fished (or maybe that was me that loved that).  So cute, you and your dad!
You were a great traveler and did well in the car and just got tired toward the end of the drive.  You were freezing at night though and so you didn't sleep great, you were up a lot and boy Spenner roo that's getting old.  You ended up sleeping in our bed and seemed happy about that.  You are such a happy soul and such a joy!

chilling with Owen

We spend a lot of time at track meets and baseball games for your brothers and since the Stohl's are at track and Ella is on Ty and Blake's baseball team you and Owen get to chill together a lot.  You two are so fun to watch.  These pictures are from the track meet in Riverton not long before the sprinklers popped up and started spraying us and it was a made dash to get the babies and the cameras out of the water.  Dad took the brunt of the sprinkler so you two wouldn't get hit, he was soaked.  It was so funny!

6 months

I can't believe it is your half birthday already.  Such a sweet boy!  You've had some rough days lately just crying and me not knowing what to do but finally realized that I LOVE to rock babies to sleep.  The last three days instead of crying and crying you just talk and talk while I rock you to sleep, I LOVE LOVE LOVE It and can't get enough of you.  Seriously it makes my heart so happy to just snuggle you and rock you to sleep.
Also, you have slept in your crib the last week.  It was an easy transition for you and you took to it like a champ.  You nap in your crib and sleep in it at night.  You are still waking up in the night but not to bad.
Your three bottom teeth are all the way in and oh so cute.  It's funny to me that you got 3, not 4, not 2 but 3 at a time all on the bottom.  I haven't noticed any top teeth coming in just the 3 on the bottom.
You continue to be such a happy boy.  You love your brothers and love when they play with you.  Blake will come up and hug you and kiss you and then giggle.  You love him and watch him when he comes into the room.  He loves to entertain you and make you laugh.  Blake listens to everything that comes out of your mouth and then tells me what you say.  The other day he swore you said ma ma.  Braden tells him he's crazy but he stands by it.  It's so cute and I love the way he enjoys you so much.
You started eating solids a little more this month.  You've had avacado, peaches, pears, applesauce, and peas.  You aren't a big fan of applesauce but will eat the others.  You don't love to eat solid food but we keep trying and you'll eat a little.
You love to be on your stomach and spin in circles to get to places.  You never stay in one spot, you roll or spin to get to the next toy.  You are starting to push up on your hands or your knees but not both at the same time.  I'm thinking I better baby proof the house quickly because it will be no time before you scoot around.
Since we only have wood floors in the main living area where you play you love carpet and you love grass.  Whenever we are at someone's house you'll play and play with the carpet.
You quit taking a binky which dad is so sad about.  It makes it hard to put you to sleep.  You will take a binky and play with it or chew on it but you won't suck on it to go to sleep.  We keep trying and I'm sure inside you are just laughing at us. :)

You are such a sweet boy and bring so much joy to our family.  Our life has so much more joy because you are a part of it!  Love you so much
