Hi Kerry, he's gorgeous, both photos are good. I do mostly people photos and these to me are the hardest to shoot, so you did a good job. The focus is off just a tiny bit, when you say you used spot focus on the eye are you talking about metering. My camera has little red dots and I only use one dot and I focus on the closest eye. I usually shoot close to wide open to blur the back ground but in your case I am not sure what the background is but if it stays a solid color you could go to a much smaller aperture and get better dof.

One thing I know you are going to get plenty of practice with this cute little guy.

Hi kerfree,
Both shots are of a cute little subject and as someone who shoots babies a lot, I would try to do something a little different either in what the subject is wearing or the backdrop. If you want your subject to pop a little more, I wouldn't go with a similar color outfit, they kind of get lost with the background. I would also have the little wiggle worms entire head in the shot, move back a little further, you can always crop for a close up.
I always have a little something for the baby to hold, whether it's a rattle or a stuffie, they seem to sit a little better, especially if you use clicking sounds, you will get the cutest little expressions.
