Mike,
I have done paintings of both of my boys when they were babies and they are two of my favorites. The picture of the baby in the father's hands is beautiful. I understand that we think a better painting can be accomplished by painting an older child, but a new parent doesn't see it the same way we do. If they want a portrait to capture this special moment, go for it. The parents see what's in front of them now and they want to cherish this time. Who's to say that they won't want another portrait three or four years from now?
Good luck with your choice,
Renee Price
