I agree with the above on the part of his head -

but otherwise I think it's great! It has lots of personality.

My! What big eyes you have!

I like this shot. I think having the hand in it gives it a little more interest. I would not have cut off the top of the head, as others have already mentioned. I think you could also crop it more tightly on the right. The left eye is a little out of focus, probably due to the wide aperture. However, I don't think it's a show stopper. I would clone out the bubble or speck of food in the left side of the lips.

I'd like to see a tighter frame (more face, less blank areas around the frame). The slightly cut off head is only a problem because it's slightly cut off. If you had cut more off (from pushing closer) it would look intentional and be fine.

You have an awesome son. I tried so hard (all the time) to get pics of my son when he was a baby. He just would not cooperate.

Kids = frame

I think this is just perfect the way you captured it.
