its good to always include a link to the EXIF data - Exif | Elijah | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

anyways I'm not experienced with infant photography but the bokeh looks good to me, the lighting looks like its being shot from the built-in flash (but according to EXIF it's not) which confuses me a lot... the light is too harsh for me, it needs to be soften. But I do see a softbox catch light on his eyes, I would have had the softbox further away... the lighting just looks too cheezy they would be normally seen coming from built-in flash.

program mode... but I checked it by clicking the photo, but putting a link directly to the EXIF would benefit others to posting. Some people who critique, like myself, hate critiquing a photo that was shot in full auto mode... its pointless to critique a full auto mode shot when the photographer has zero understanding what aperture, ISO and shutter means.

if it was a window indoors, I'd put a big white sheet as the curtain, that should soften the light from the harshness thats in the shot.

Hi thanks for replying again? sorry this shot is on manual mode? Did it say in my exif that I used program mode?
