He's a handsome boy TH! :up:
An Ipad Thanksgiving morning 2011...how time flies. 
A new year, some Jack you missed since November...
He looks like such a smart and inquisitive young feller.
He's so far ahead of his age group I'm beginning to dread his teenage years in advance. :chuckle:
Not sure where the whole John Gruden hair comes in. His mother's side perhaps.

Such a sweet boy. They're so peaceful when they're sleeping.
Obviously a great subject, with a cute, expressive face. But you've got the technical side of portraiture pretty well figured out. A camera with more low-light capability to suppress noise would make these professional quality.
But they are truly wonderful shots as they are. You will cherish every one of these in years to come, and wonder why you didn't take more. Keep shooting, my friend.

Thanks. It's a Sony, so...maybe a Cannon when I have the pockets for it but this is a good trainer and I've been happy with them on the whole.

Great shots, TH. How old is Jack now?
Make the leap. Trust me, you won't regret it. Consumer level DSLR's are just as easy to operate as a P&S, don't cost that much more, and will give you dramatically better pictures.
The cheapest right now is this for only $200 (not a DSLR, but quality is on par):

Sony vs Canon won't make much of a difference. Point and shoot vs large sensor (eg DSLR) is where you'll get a huge quality upgrade.

I don't mean to disparage them at all. Great composition beats anything else. And that, you have. Some Sonys do a lot better than some Canons, BTW.
And to make those pictures less noisy, there's a free solution...

The software is free indefinitely in the trial version, but you get more stuff in the other versions. Try it out. You can use it on your existing shots, and they will look even better than they do now.
It isn't magic, but I think it would be worth using on some of these shots. You should make a copy and try it on that, of course.
He turns two in May, so twenty-one months.
Ah, someone told me Sony's were notorious for noise and that a Cannon D1 would be a good move.

Double :cheers:
And thanks for the link Barbarian. I've downloaded it.
A few things...still haven't gotten around to the noise end, but I'm about to pick up PaintShop Pro X5.
