Yeah, that's a really good lens too. I recommend the 40mm because it's nice to have it a little wider indoors (33° field of view instead of 27°), because unlike your husband I like the compact form factor a lot, and (this is important) because it has a minimum focal distance of 13" instead of 18", and kids get up in your face a lot. There's also some nice features like the quick-shift to manual focus.
But don't get me wrong, the FA 50mm f/1.4 is an nice lens too especially for its price. And the extra two stops will be nice indoors (but watch that depth of field -- unless you've got your kid tranquilized, they squirm/jump right out of focus).
