Re: what is this baby pleco?
I agree with racoll on both counts: it's hard to say for sure, as it's small and the photo is not quite pin-sharp, but it looks like a common bristlenose (I've seen thousands over the past 5 years or so).

Do these two look like they are also common bristelnose babies? They are 1.25 - 1.5 inches. They are about a month or so older than the first one.
Ack, I need to ask her for larger photos.

Yes, they are bristlenoses 100%.
