Actually, I did mess around with the levels because the tonality bugged me as well, but I didn't like that it blew out a little of the highlights on her cheeks. So instead I opted to leave it a little flat. I appreciate the tip though. :D

Wonderful image and can think of nothing else that could make it any better, other than a wide mat and a frame, and of course getting it on a wall to be enjoyed in her home, for decades to come. This is truly what a camera is for - preserving the memories of our lives, as they can never be replicated.

Edited to add:
The more I looked at this, the more it hit me it the white point was a bit off and could use with a levels adjustment to brighten it up a touch and give to look of added contrast without the harsh effects of contrast adjustment only. Here is what I came up with:

and the one step adjustment:
