I'm not positive, but here's a few thoughts-- 1. Did you take the light meter reading using reflective? 2. You might want to use a bounce flash
I've had similar outcomes, usually when there was a surface that was more reflective than absorbing of light. It looks like your daughter's face is too saturated with light, so possibly your light meter is at fault (double check settings, using reflective?, or try using camera's metering for comparison).
Another thought is how close you were when you took shot; maybe try further back or reduce power of flash. Hope this helps

Out 0f focus? by: Anonymous
Great Picture..
Looks like the couch is more in focus than that of the baby? Could your focus not be put onto the baby's eyes?

Looks to me... by: Jodie M
Looks to me like your focus fell on the pink ribbon on her shoulder. If the eyes would have been in focus you wouldn't have to worry about the rest of the shot. Try to focus the camera on the eyes, then reframe the shot and see if you get better results.
