All good! All cute! And, all three might have been a little better with more of the subject and context that was cropped in camera from the bottom of the frame. If you included more in the first, he wouldn't have isolated toes. In the second you could see him holding the boat, explaining why his hands were full and he was vulnerable to being "pelican-ed". In the third more chest would give better visual balance so he wouldn't seem to have a disproportionately large head. Small children grow their heads first and their bodies eventually catch up. Cartoonists know to exaggerate this. We have a soft spot for young folks and young critters which is why cartoonists draw cartoon characters with large child-like heads. For some reason when you include more body, the enlarged heads of children are less obvious. I suspect, when you include more body it includes more context that says "child" and the larger head size is more expected and therefore less noticed.
