At 12 Months:

Walking!

Gaining more independence each day

One top tooth broke through!

Loves to dance 

Loves all fruit

Hudson is finally 1 year old! The first year went by so fast, it feels like I was just holding this precious baby in my arms in the hospital.  Hudson is changing so much from week to week.  He's constantly learning new things and finding his own personality.  He faces new challenges all the time and gets frustrated when he can't do something on the first try.  I of course can relate ;-)
He started walking, or I should say gave up crawling, on his first birthday.  I picked him up from daycare and set him down on the concrete outside the school and he took off!  He loves his new found freedom and is reluctant to be carried now, which is sad for me.  Its so fun to see him grow and change, but also a little sad as he becomes less of a baby and more of a toddler.
He's been much healthier lately, which has been a huge blessing!  We figured out he has a milk allergy so once we took out all the dairy in his diet he really started doing better.  Sadly, his favorite food is yogurt but he can't have it anymore.  I stopped nursing just after he turned a year.  Another big change.  Hudson was ready and I was pretty tired of having to pump.  He's drinking soy milk now and loves it.  
We're still not sleeping through the night.  He's just not a good sleeper.  He still wakes up once or twice a night and he's terrible at napping :-(
I'm hoping that will improve!  I really look forward to a time when we can all get a full night's sleep!

A few family updates:
Jason is starting a new job IN CARLSBAD the first week of June! This is very exciting news for us since he's been having to drive downtown everyday for the past 4 years.  Having him close to home will allow us to share the responsibility of daycare drop off and pick up and give me a little more flexibility with my time.  Plus we'll be able to have child free lunch dates :-)
Also, Hudson's Mommy is (finally) officially an architect!  After years of schooling, intern hours, and 8 tests I am a California licensed architect!  It feels so good to have that behind me and just be able to focus on our home and family now.
