I think the batman shot is fantastic. Great capture, and using the falsh to freeze the motion, whilst blurring the background.
Great natural captures in all of them!
Keep taking lots of photos of your little fella, they will be treasured for years when he is all "growed" up.

There's something special about Zeiss lenses. The images are beautiful.

I like all the photographs, but the first because it seems there is a bit of distortion affecting the face of your subject, as if taken with a wide angle lens. I don't mind the distortion in the picture with the big hand because it is obvious. It gives a sense of the proportion of the child, as seen by the adult taking the photograph. This technique involves the viewer in an active role. I love the motion in the batman pic and the frozen moment in the race of all races. That hair in the wind suggest speed and movement and that angelic expression makes your picture. I suggest next time you take similar type of picture you frame it so your subject enters the frame.
