Awesome pics, Todd... sure is fun being a proud Dad, huh?
As far as the straight arm... I think the best I ever heard it put was by Michael Braden when he talked about having a bent arm and leaning against a fence post or door jamb. See how long you can hold the weight of your body up like that; then, straighten your arm out to a relaxed state just like it were hanging naturally at your side and see how well you can support your body weight. There's no comparison.
Very nice comparison,and if you get your forearm and wrist turned properly,along with the proper draw length,you should have no issues with arm slap.
