Welcome to the People forum. Cute little girl. Looks very relaxed. Lighting is really flat and I'm not sure the chair is working as a backdrop. Looks like she is in a cage.
I would suggest, watching the shadows on the back ground. Pull the chair out farther from the wall, 6-8 feet, to lessen the harsh shadowing. She looks like she is having a blast in that chair lol. You made need to increase the ISO speed to catch these critters lol, one arm blurred #3. I wouldn't be afraid to hit at least 400 or even 800. I learned that one the hard way lol. #2, I wonder about a color version, she looks like she has lovely eyes? Welcome to the forum, hope we didn't scare you away.
First thing that jumped out at me was the wall colour stands out more than the girl. I think a different setting or backdrop would have been better.
Otherwise, I think they're great - you captured some great expressions.
Agree with others on the lighting situation. Additionally, I'm not sure if the second one is supposed to be black and white, but it has a blue cast to it.
It just looks like you put the camera on auto and pointed the flash directly at her. You need to modify the light in some way so it doesn't look like grandma took the pictures. Three might be OK, but the the motion blur of the arm ruins it.
I'd read some literature on basic fundamentals of lighting.
