The baby's expression are priceless and so is the light on him.
I would consider cropping the mother off the first image since her face is not to clear. It may make the comp stronger, but then again, would need to see it to make sure it works.

Nice work!

Good job Dixie and Fabs suggestion was on the mark. The cropped version is much, much stronger.
