+1 totally agree.

I would add a Sigma 30 or EF 35/2 for available light shots, otherwise the 50 is a great portrait length on crop.

Yup, a bounce flash is almost needed as well.

>>Super thin DOF is not such a great thing for baby shots, in my opinion. You need to get closer because they are so small and then almost nothing is in focus.

keep you 50mm F/1.8 as it is an excellent lens for portraits.

I notice that you don't have any longer telephoto zooms or any wide angle zooms.

save up some money and get any one of the 70-200L lenses (or the older 80-200L) and one of the wide zooms like the 10-22 or one of it's third party equivalents...

The lens I have used the most with my kids is the 24-70/2.8L. I also like to use the 50L at times. It is a fun lens.

My vote is for the 50mm f2.5 macro. One of the sharpest lenses I own and great for the detail shots of fingers/toes, etc. Plus it's a nice portrait length for a crop sensor camera. Only issue might be focus speed. It's a dog in that category.
