Hawkes is almost 1! He continues to get more and more fun. He seems to learn new things every day, and it is so fun to watch him explore and figure things out. In his free time, Hawkes has developed a number of hobbies. They mostly revolve around music, sports, and books.
One of his very most favorite hobbies is reading "That is not my Dinosar" with Bama Rox
Hawkes also likes playing guitar with dad...
...and on his own with his mini-guitar.
Hawkes is really excited that the NBA lockout is finally over and can't wait until Christmas to start watching basketball. His all time favorite player is Jose Ortiz. Here he is practicing his form on his jumpshot.
He is not so sure about baseball, but he's willing to give it a shot
We have tried to encourage him to play the piano, but after hearing horror stories from Uncle Jaxon about piano lessons, he is less than excited about the prospect.
We just finished watching the Ken Burns documentary on Jazz, and Hawkes is convinced he is the next Dizzy Gillespie. He definitely has the cheeks for it. Here he is practicing his embouchure.
Hawkes went to his first Real Salt Lake game a little while back. He got a mini soccer ball, and ever since he figured out how to walk holding someones hand, he has become obsessed with kicking it. He already has developed a pretty sweet step-over.
