Jude meets the ocean

The bahamas gave us our first chance to show Mr Jude the ocean. And because it was cloudy and a bit chilly, we didn't have to slather with sunscreen and cover him up. so i actually think the photos of the moment are better because you see his cute face.

Jude and dad walk to the waterwhat is that?

Atantis also let Jude get up close and personal with some 7 foot reef sharks. Notice the clear 'tube' in the tank, more on that adventure later.

can i eat you?the shark appears annoyed with baby trying to eat it...or perhaps excited mommy photographer

The sunshine did make an appearance on our first two days. We took Baby Jude out in his gear and even let him splash in the pool.

Its amazing what they make for babies these days. Baby Sunglasses...check. Baby tshirt with UV protection...check. We even brought along a floating fortress, as Greg calls it. Basically its a floating ring, with squeaky parts, that has an inflatable canopy over it as well. We used it to take Jude in the pool. We didn't have our camera with us for that first time. And...we didn't realize that would be the last day it was warm enough to take him in the water. Oh well. hopefully it will make a reappearance this summer.
