my sweet little girl

So, I just got my first DSLR. It is not new, but it is new to me. It is a Canon REbel xti. I am learning on it. Anyway, I took this photo of my daughter during a quick impromptu photo session before lunch. I know it isn't perfect, I know the right hand side is blown out and some highlights in her hair are too, but I thought it was cute. What would you change or adjust in this picture?

She is cute. I would have shot it in portrait orientation and check the white balance, it seems blue to me.

I actually made some warming adjustments already. I was shooting indoors in fluorescent lighting before I moved outside to shoot her. I forgot to change it. I will work on warming it up a little bit more.

How about this, cropped to square and adjusted the white balance.

This one of my son turned out quite a bit better
