Guess I should leave my comment now. :) I loved the big innocent eyes. For me, that is what I wanted to see in focus more than anything. At that age, the babies say so much with them: they can smile and cry with those eyes. What a gift! I see sweet innocence and hope here. A lovely moment.
What a beautiful child, and never is there more hope than with a new child. Very beautiful portrait, and I don't agree that there is too much going on. Showing part of the adult seems important, since it is the adult, not the child, who has the hope in this situation. I like it.
