Mary,
This is very difficult work. Not only are babies difficult to portray, but you have upped the ante by adding one more person to the composition. Two person composition, one being a baby, outdoors, this is tough duty.
As far as the photography goes I would offer one suggestion. I am assuming that these images are the full frame. If they are, try and remind yourself to be a bit more inclusive. I can't tell you how many times I have composed the scene exactly as I wanted it in the view finder only to discover later that something, just out of the frame, would have made all the difference to the composition. I routinely do my compositions from "too large" an image using my cropping guide. You will rarely be dissapointed with too much information. I'm not talking about including the whole room or down to their feet, just about 20-30% more than what looks good.
