Anesthesia school is somewhat stressful. I spend many hours at the hospital and almost as much time studying. As such occasionally I need to decompress. My favorite thing to do is to come home to my beautiful wife and my wonderful son. This makes call very difficult because after a full day I have to go to an empty room and try to sleep before waking up in the middle of the night because nobody in this area knows how to drive (Sorry, enough ranting). Anyway playing with Drostan is often what gets me through from day to day.

Super Bowl Sunday
"I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father..." I don't know how many times I have read this verse, but I figured if it worked for Lehi maybe I should do it too. So in an effort to teach Drostan "in all the learning of [his] father" we taught him about football.
With Randy for a grandpa Drostan also has to learn about all kinds of strange animals he may eventually encounter at grandpa's house. I don't know about the triceritops but if Randy could find a giraffe for sale he would probably buy it.
and this is just a picture to prove that I really do have the cutest boy in the whole wide world. As if all the other pictures hadn't convinced you.
On Saturday Drostan was standing up and throwing his arms in the air and it looked just like a referee signaling a touchdown. So I grabbed the camera and this was the best shot I could get.
Next we tried to teach Drostan how to navigate the stairs. Now that we have a mobile son, when one of us leaves the room Drostan decides to follow. This is the first time he tried to climb the stairs (he was following his Daddy). He got up about three stairs and got stuck, but he couldn't figure out how to go down either.
Next, came mealtime/messmaking. Drostan loves to eat. He eats everything he can get his hands on, literally. Shoes, paper, random objects on the floor, etc. Well we were having spaghetti one night so we decided to let Drostan try some too. He eventually got some of it in his mouth.

First Christmas
Even though Cassie and I have been married for 8 years this was the first year that we have ever celebrated Christmas by ourselves. It was extra special because it was also Drostan's first Christmas. Because we are poor college students we decided to go low key this year, besides Drostan really doesn't know what is going on, he just wants to eat the paper. Drostan was very good to unwrap all the presents, the trick was to let him rip a piece of paper off and then take it away so he had to rip another piece off to eat. I think he had fun.
You can see his mouth open and he is getting ready to eat the paper before he even has it off the box. 
"Oh Mom, you shouldn't have"
At this point he just resorted to eating the paper while it was on the box because everytime he took it off the box someone took it away from him.
Mom and Das got some presents too. Since I am in the bishopric and have to wear a suit every week Cassie bought me a new suit, my old one is almost 6 years old. The piture doesn't do it justice, but the lining in irridescent and shimmers between the pink/purple you can see to a green and a gray. Very cool. Cassie got gift cards so that she can pick out her own cool clothes.
Later we all went to Doug and Elinor's to share some holiday cheer with our cousins. We had a lovely Christmas dinner, visited and played some games. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year and we pray that we might all keep the Christmas spirit alive in our hearts throughout the rest of the year.
