baby portrait

I've learned that baby photos are really difficult indoors for three reasons -
1. It's dark
2. Babies move all the time
3. Their moods change constantly

Last weekend I was using my manual focus 50mm 1.7 @ 1.7 to get 1/60th of a second and I managed to get this and a few others, what do you think?

Thanks for the replies; Yes, I had to sharpen it up quite a bit (which I normally hate doing). The only area in focus because of the tiny depth of field are the eyes. I did noise filter it because the sharpening brought out a nasty look to the skin. To be honest I thought this gave it a bit more impact.

When I get home I'll post the original to see what you think of the transformation.
