Week 17 at I heart faces!

Over at I heart faces this week, it is a hat theme! I knew instantly what photo I wanted to enter for the adults, but I've had a hard time choosing with the kids!
But, here it is.... This is Sydney when she was about 9 months old! I love this picture of her! She has the biggest cheese, and that one little tooth! I think I put too much of a blur on it, but I still love her face!

This photo for the adults is of my older brother, Jarad! He has downs syndrome and is 31 years old. He is such an example to me. He is the kindest, sweetest, cutest guy I know! We all love him dearly and can't imagine what our lives would be like without him in it. He loves his cowboy hat and his guitar. He sits and plays along and sings and he listens to his favorite singer in the world, Elvis Presley! Jarad loves to sing and do the hip movements as he watches or listens! It is so cute! Anyways, he wanted to have some pictures done a few months ago for my grandma and grandpa! So we went out and took them. I love this picture because it shows his true nature; kind, soft and cuddly, and ever so sweet!
I'd love some feedback on these pictures so that I can improve. I can't decide on the vignette, any suggestions to make this picture better would be awesome!
