Hi LeeshyLove,
Welcome to DPS! Read lots, post lots, shoot lots, and learn lots!!

I see you've posted a few images today for critique, and I just want to reiterate that you should become familiar with the forum rules so the mods don't get ya.

That being said, I'll go ahead and give you my overall thoughts on this image...
CUTE baby! Love the expression you captured. However, it is composed a bit tightly...I'd like to see more space out the right where she is looking into, and would prefer her arm and fingers not be chopped off on the left (back up and maybe horizontal orientation would've worked better). Also, it looks OOF (out of focus) to me, and I am guessing it is because of your shutter speed. 1/80 is just too slow to capture the quick and subtle (or not-so-subtle) movements of a toddler. Believe me I know, I have a 4 yo and a 3 mo old!

thank you for your critique. im smacking myself in the forehead, I made sure to read all of the rules. but i completely missed the part about one photo per 24 hours.

No worries. It happens.

Remember also to post a specific question about WHAT you want critiqued. Do your own assessment first, then ask for feedback about something you're not quite sure about....i.e. does the white balance look off to you? Is the background distracting? How's the composition? etc.
