I did my very first baby (3 month old) shoot today. Even though I have 3 boys of my own I could not remember what 3 month old babies do. I had planned all these really cute shots.. like playing with her feet laying on her tummy etc. and none of them worked out because well... she's only 3 months old and doesn't do much of anything except spit up and head falling lol. I thought these were pretty cute.. C&C me please!!

The beanbag also works great for the baby when lying on her back as well. You can use the beanbag to elevate her into more of a sitting position.
I also like to use different textures and props, such as baskets, and soft fur.
Hope that helps. I would love to see more of your shoot.

I use a poser from www.wickerbydesign.com for all my little ones. Lots of ways to use it. Or you could just pick up a boppy (breastfeeding pillow) and use that. Feel free to look through the children's galleries on my site. I do alot of 3 month olds...though I usually ask the moms to wait until the are about 15 weeks. Those few extra weeks make a huge difference in posing ability and their smiling more readily. The feet stuff usually comes 6-7months I love the colors in your images. Both seem a little soft to me. Maybe some sharpening would help?
Babies are just hard to photograph, by definition. I personally really like having at least one of the parents closeby to have him/her draw the baby's attention (behind me, close to me) so that I can get a shot of the baby looking towards the lens (-ish). Different pillow-type things can work pretty well, also
