Sadly she won't meet Grandpa, but she sure is a splitting image of him. :)

Thank you for all the lovely comments! Yes, there is noise, but I did not intend it. And the smile is subtle - it's in her eyes. It's a subtle mischievous smile.
It is VERY difficult to capture a nice portrait of a 20-month-old. I was taking some photos of her in her room, which is well lit. But impossible to get her to stop for a second. As she walked out the room I called her and snapped the photo. Timing and patience were key. But she moves about like nothing else! Hence the ISO-400 and thus a bit of noise (it is 100% crop just about).
I am extremely pleased with how this did! It started off near 5.5 and slowly but steadily climbed to the 6.2xxx it finished on.

while i'm not a fan of high key imagery, this is mostly well done.
i find the noise overly applied on the skin - there's nothing wrong with babies having creamy skin, to me the added noise just makes it look like she has a bit of dirt on her face.

Nice high-key portrait, good light and even the processing works well on a smooth-skinned toddler although it is a bit grainy for the style.
Very cute photo though, her expression is nice and her eyes are well captured here.
