Hi Anne Lee

If you have the original photograph and a scanner, re-scan the photo but before you do, go into your scanner software and usually under the heading "Settings"....go in and change one of the boxes on the screen so it reads as "300 dpi" or change it to an even higher if you can.  By doing this, you will get a much higher quality scan.

Such a cute little photo, it would be lovely coloured if we had a properly scanned version to work on.

Cheers

try a rescan at 300 dpi  you will have much more information to work with at this resolution you can also make it larger in size eg 4x3 inches will give you a file size 3.6 mb
 its not neccesary to color the whole photo as in those days photographers hand colored work with inks often just doing flowers or a frock drawing attention to the most important details . use your lasoo to select area but make sure that you feather x eg 6 pixels so as not to get a hard line of color
suggest desaturate and then do your own  sepia color using color balance
 when using fill  select multiply and 50 % for a softer look
 your image is blurry to start with  but thats no worry  I have had just a quick go to give you an idea
