As already mentioned, your color cast is bad. You need to correct the white balance first. Then that makes the blue come back-but still looks like a dark blue color.
I duplicated layer, corrected the white balance, I selected the eyes and copied them to a different layer. I then used the brush tool on 10% opacity set to color dodge and a blue color to brush & build up some blue onto the eyes. I don't know HOW blue the babies eyes are, but to me they appeared kind of dark so that's why I used the color dodge. You could build it up stronger.
Then duplicated layer, converted it to black and white and then masked (or erase it whatever your version can do) it to paint out the eyes and strawberries.
A bunch of different ways to do this, but I'm not familar with your version of software. (guess you said now you're using Elements instead of PS)
Please forgive the very sloppy paint job, just doing this "very" quickly. While I didn't have the time to do it, I would probably whiten & brighten the whites of the eyes-think that might help. I also like glint (not everyone does) and would probably work on making them more pronounced.
If you google you'll find all kinds of tuts on brightening up eyes and making them standout more. Good luck. (cute pic by the way and nice DOF)
(Shelleyrae...just noticed the video you did on this yesterday. Loved it! NEAT. You're getting a very nice collection of video's. Love the program you use for it)
