My second lens... what to choose?

If the budget allows, I would seriously consider the Panasonic 12-35 f/2.8 zoom.

You can get the Original or the II for a pretty reasonable price, and at 12mm f/2.8, you'll get significantly more light for selfies, be a bit wider (16% or so?) and be able to focus in as close as 25cm or so.  Then at 35mm f/2.8 you will be able to render some out of focus backgrounds fairly easily for better portraits as your daughter grows!

great picture quality, better light, and fixed aperture are all good!

From a dad of 4 daughters, they're awesome!  You wont believe the adventures you are getting ready for!
