Bernie,

The first of these is magic. Great feeling of life and activity; clearly a bright bouncing baby.

I'd like to see the wb adjusted in the second; it looks to me to be way too cool, and could do with some warming up. Use the colouration within the numbers on the child's clothing as your guide here. It should be much closer to a pure white, which is what you have in the other two images.

For a subject not your usual, you have done a great job. Accepting Gary's comments about WB, I actually think the cool WB in the second adds to the image, surprisingly given that I would normally associate baby photos with warmer tones. Your use of light and capture of the expression, particularly in the second, is great.
