Well, there is definitely a PP improvement. I've always liked creating slightly higher tones for angelic faces. The only critique here would be to work on focusing your camera onto his eyes. From this picture, the focus is a little off and there is a very shallow DoF. Once you get your subject into focus, then I would suggest softening his facial features a little. Like a soft glow. This will help soften the sharpness of a nice lens and even soften some of the facial features of your cute baby. Also, your light source is coming off from the upper right hand corner. This creates more shadow below the chin and on your son's left cheek. This can be reduced in PP by increasing the brightness/exposure starting from the lower left-hand corner of your screen. It should help. BTW. What PP program are you using?

I'm pretty sure he said LR4 meaning Photoshop Lightroom 4

Cute baby, mine is due somewhere in August, but God decides when it's ready.
