Baby in a basket

I have been trying to get cute posed pictures of Grayson in buckets and baskets here and there, but it is harder than it looks!  The professionals must have some secrets because I can't get Grayson to stay asleep, or stay posed if he is awake.  I probably should have tried when he was just a few days old, but my mind was not focused on pictures at that time.  

Attempt #1:

I think the bucket was too small, and I just hate waking him up when he is sleeping, so this did not go so well. 

Attempt #2:

I don't think this looks like him

baby rolled too much

not a happy camper

Any suggestions??
