New camera and backyard phootshoot

I just got my first DSLR a Nikon D5300 with 18-55mm lens. I decided to go shoot some pictures of my 9 month old daughter and wife and I think that turned out amazing. I am really new to this level of quality and I am open to suggestions. These are all un-doctored (except resized to upload here).

Kids are great arent they? Trouble is, they grow up. Anyway, have a read of this article about some thing called the Rule of Thirds. It'll help you think about composition
Rule of Thirds in Photography

Thank you for the advise I appreciated it

No problem, we're here to help. We're good at spending other peoples money on cameras/lenses too

I am already looking at getting a 55m-200 or a 55m-300, would love the 18m-300 but extending my current budget a little more then it can go.

That's the G.A.S kicking in!

is GAS an acronym?

GAS = Gear Acquiring Syndrome or a few other similar diseases. Ha!

Yes, Gear Acquisition Syndrome

Often accompanied by symptoms of Oh-My-Gawd-How-do-I-Explain-These-Charges-on-the-Visa-Statement-to-my-Wife/Girlfriend/Significant-Other... Syndrome.
