Default First Attempt at Baby Portraits

This is a shot from my first attempt at doing a portrait session with a baby. I would be interested to hear comments on the composition and lighting as well as any other suggestions you have to share. Thanks so much!

The only part I see in real focus is the section of brown blanket to the right. If it's not focused almost nothing else matters. The viewer's eyes just wander around confused, they get frustrated, and give up.

Its probably your depth of field and camera shake?
