Cute baby!
What fun! No rules on size, but just some thoughts. When you work larger than life size, you run the risk of making the individual features more life size, while the rest is larger than life. Results - distortion. The rule is always to keep the drawing in proportion. Here, it may be that you did succumb a little to size distortion dilemma of the individual features.
Many artists draw and paint larger than life. I almost never do. I view the frame as a window of sorts, and the subject as on the other side of the window. If the subject is smaller than life, it will be behind the window. If it is life size, it will cross-section the window, and if it is bigger than life, it will be on this side of the window right up in your face! On larger subjects, that can be disturbing.
I always draw and paint just smaller than life. It also enables me to see the figure more to scale, and avoid possible distortions.
It appears that the nose is too far from the eyes, which may be attributed to the oversize distortion dilemma.
Overall, a great job!
