The screen image you've pointed me to is only 598x762 pixels.  I 
wouldn't consider making a 5x7 print unless there were at least 1750 
pixels along the long edge and preferably 2100.  In the drastic 
downsizing from the original to a screen image you have lost very 
considerable detail in the image.  JPEG file size is only tangentially 
related here.  I believe you have lost significant detail in the child's 
eyes, lashes and brows.  If you were to go back to your original E3 
image file and make a properly sized print file (1500x2100) I think 
you'd be quite surprised to see what your present print is missing.
