Critique: Too Much Negative Space

It's time for another critique. This time I want to focus on a problem I have with fast moving subjects, e.g. Kasey. Because she (and most babies) move so fast, I have to snap off a shot right after my autofocus acquires a lock. The consequence of this is that I don't have time to recompose the shot before pressing the shutter release. This often results in a lot of non-artistic negative space which messes up the composition of the photo. One way to overcome this problem is to use my camera's multi-point autofocus feature. Unfortunately I find that it is not very accurate, especially in low light situations.
