I rather enjoy taking pictures of the (my) kids, but I feel like there is allot of room for

improvement. I would really appreciated some constructive criticism. Here are my own:

Photo 1: Too shallow DOF

Photo 2: Daughters head cut off (is this ok?)

Photo 3: Subjects appendages partially out of frame.

DOF is not particularly a problem here.  The baby suit is slightly blown out and the baby's face is "hi key".  If you shot in RAW those should be fixable.  Nice catchlights in baby's eyes.  Other lighting is pretty good: the shadows aren't too deep on your son's head.  Baby's eyes lovely!

Good interaction but way too cropped.

Technically good lighting but I think a *bit* dark.   A bit too posed for me (others may disagree).  Again good catchlights in baby's eyes. Too cropped.

Assuming your camera has the pixels, go wide and crop later if need be.
