does maybe the baby just need a new head period?

ok, just started this today. i love disney like whoa and another DA artist changed my inspiration for this piece that ive been trying to decide on for a bit now. I'm trying to make a nice finished piece for the babies room. First i was gonna do humans and the artist i really like is not taking commissions =( So im out to do it on my own. I've been studying disney sites and lion king sites/pictures and thus is what i got so far!
Here's where im currently having the MOST problems in this beginning stage, The babys face! you can see where one part is missing. I cant figure it out atm, it keeps looking squished and foreign. She's intended to be playing with a piece of her mothers hair so her focus is down and eyes i wide with delight. I think i've choosen the wrong emotion for the ears too.
any tips/draw overs/suggestions ect would be appreciated and loved.
