I would consider the new 50/2. It's the better portrait lens compared to 35mm. And when your child is getting older and is moving faster, it's autofocus is faster than the 35/1.4 and 56/1.2.

The 50 requires more room that one often has. The 35 doesn't would be much better in close quarters. I would go with either a 35 f1.4 or 23 f1.4 depending on the size of the rooms.

I don't have any problems with the 50mm indoors. It's way better than the 60mm I had before, and especially for newborns or younger childs, you won't have any problem to get them on the image from head to feet, even if you stand closer to them. In fact I did a picture from my 2 year old (head to feet), sleeping on the carpet. And I did that picture standing directly next to her.
