Baby Cedric's Portrait

I have been capturing my son, Cedric photo since he was given birth on 8th September 2009. People tend to ask me "Why always head? Not full body photo." To me, portrait means head to shoulder and why I always think that baby head is the main part in an infant that is going through "massive" changes during their first year. Unlike toddler, infant can only lie on bed and greatest will be able to flip over and lift up their head in the first 6 months. Thus, I have capture baby Cedric photo using my Canon 50mm f1.8 lense. See how great he looks after I modified using an opensource software: What do you think of the effect I applied on the portrait?

Today, I am trying out the software again and come out with another portrait for Cedric which was taken a month back when my mother and sister came to Singapore to visit us. Back then, he was still with nice hair and he was about 3 months 3 weeks old:
