OK here is a new photo of my son. I got my 24-70 L yesterday so i grabbed him and threw him in my studio. Tried lighting suggestions that i have been getting from everyone here. Thanks for your help. By the way be hard on me. I like it that way.

Generally speaking, the shadows can be much softer with an infant or young child. So - in this case we can accept the extremely soft shadows.

However, I would recommend that you experiment with less fill or flat lighting so as to get the feel of the increased depth and modeling of facial features.
