I would like to see some photos of his whole head and face and have it in focus. Try putting the baby on the floor (on a playmat or blanket) and then get down there with him. And try not shooting up the nose for a little more pleasing effect. Keep trying....

Here are a couple of my newborn grandson: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=690450

Look through this forum for lot's of other wonderful ideas. There are tons of talented photographers here.

your b&w conversions are super gray, I would suggest trying a new technique to make them lighter and have more contrast. I like doing a simple gradient map and playing with the levels and curves.
