Those pictures are great! Its no secret - pics usually come out much better without flash. Its more natural. I have the same issue with blurrieness if there is not enough light in the room .. if thats the case I wait til they get sleepy and I pretend that I am holding stuff in my hand to get them to focus on my hand in the air - and take the picture ASAP before they move! Can you manually set your exposure? that helps .. and keep the ISO below 100 or else the pics come out grainy!
