I like the B&W, and I personally think the soft look works well with kids.

The background isn't distracting, but maybe the pattern on the sheet/blanket is. Would cloning it out or blurring it work? Maybe crop it a bit tighter on the bottom to get rid of the pattern?

She's very cute. I bet her parents will love that picture. :) Nice shot.

I like them both, but the color photo stands out for me personally. I would crop a little tighter to get rid of the rainbow colored blanket on the far right (or clone it out) and cloned out the band-aid on her arm.

Excellent photos!
