Default old picture

Hi guys.
I visit my youngest brother last weekend and he asks me to photograph his 1 year-old son. he said he likes it to look like an old photograph. of course, i said yes..... though i really don't know how to do it,lol. here is the photograph i processed in lightroom3. does it really look old? feel free to edit this photograph if you need to, to show me how to do it correctly.
many thanks in advance.

this is only my opinion, don't take my word for it. does it look old? yes and no. maybe it looks too red and smooth. try desaturating a bit and i don't know anything about lightroom, i use cs2. if you can add a new layer and fill it with light gray and add texture, then change the opacity so it looks a bit rough or grainy.
