Great first try! And what a gorgeous kid! He has the most beautiful eyes. You did well with the narrow depth of field to throw the background out of focus. Doing that, you can use pretty much ANYthing as a backdrop. No one would ever guess that is just a piece of cardboard.
If you want to soften the light and don't have umbrellas or a soft box, just get a big piece of white poster board and use it as a reflector. Bounce the light off of that and you'll have nice soft light, sort of like window light. I'm no expert, either, but that's my two cents!

Yeah, sit up straight, Jorge, it'll make your shirt fit better! CaptainC's advise should be followed closely, but I thought melphoto's idea about taking individual photos of key-light alone, fill-light alone, was a great learning tool. Especially considering there is no more "film" expense, or waiting to see results.
You're on your way to success, buddy, at least until the kids lose patience with you!

And, in the absolutely nitpicking department, there's a bit of table edge on the bottom left that could be cropped out. It's an unnecessary distraction.
