Holding your newborn for the first time, seeing that first toothless grin, seeing her figure out how to control her arms and legs to start crawling, taking those first steps, hearing him say Mama... the early years are filled with milestones that will forever have a place in our hearts.
Equally as thrilling, childhood is also filled with plenty of candid and real moments – the completely unscripted ones that leave you filled with joy and grabbing your camera to capture.
And those sweet, humorous, surprising, messy pictures, videos and stories are exactly the ones that Fisher-Price wants to celebrate with us with their new photo and video sharing site, Moments of Joy.
A place for parents to share everything from their child's first day of school to the time they planted their face in the birthday cake, Fisher-Price wants you to join in with your candid pics, videos and stories of your kids in action!
Let me tell you, for me the hardest part about taking part in Moments of Joy was narrowing down which memories of my children I wanted to include! With folders and folders containing picture after picture and video after video, it's all too easy for me to get lost in the memories as I browse... not to mention that I could spend forever looking through the gallery at Moments of Joy to see everyone else's adorable additions as well!
In the end, I chose five of my favorites of each of my girls from their first year or two of life and, after marveling at just how much they've grown and changed since then, happily added them to Fisher-Price's collection.
Each time I have visited, the Moments of Joy homepage has changed, but I love seeing a few of my favorite little faces. First it was these...
...and the next time it was these!
If you were trying to make me swoon, Fisher-Price, you've succeeded!
Plus, now I get to keep visiting to see other people's super cute additions, as well as keep my eye out for my remaining four photos to possibly make their homepage appearance:
Uploading your own photos, videos and stories to Moments of Joy couldn't be much easier, as Fisher-Price has designed all of the steps to be user-friendly and intuitive. Simply create a free account, click Add Your Moment, choose where you would like your photo to come from (computer, Facebook or webcam) and upload.
You're then prompted to add in a title, caption and a tiny bit of info about your moment, and then voila! You're a part of the adorableness!
In case you needed a reason to join in the fun (other than being like me and just wanting to show off more baby pictures), Fisher-Price is kicking off the debut of their new site with a Fisher-Price Moments of Joy Sweepstakes!
Simply by uploading your own pictures, videos and stories about the candid, sweet, silly moments that you've experienced from now until December 20, 2012, you're automatically entered for a chance to win!

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 459 Newer› Newest»My favorite moment of joy was when my daughter was born.
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting an adult son of a long-time friend of mine reunited with his my mother, my friend, after decades of separation.
My favorite moment of joy was when my husband got out of the Marines right before the Gulf War!
One of my favorite moments was watching my older daughter see and hold her little sister for the first time.
This is an easy one. Last year we were blessed with a new grand daughter...healthy and adorable. Just Just 7 months later, another sweet grand daughter came into our lives. Within 3 more months we were to have aNOTHER grandchild born. But this little one made a very early entrance at almost 3 months early. He was born at under 2 lbs, a fighter who never needed to be intubated. Who know voices and the love of family right from the first moment. It was a long, LONG time before we all let the fear go,but the joy that comes much more freely is never to be compared! Faith, Hope, and true JOY...we have THREE healthy grandchildren to mark the end of this year. (Our little angel is now almost 20 lbs with no lasting effect of being born so very early.). It truly is a JOY and privilege to watch these little ones reach their milestones, and be thankful for every. single. one. :)
One (well, two) moments of joy have been when my daughters were born and I heard them cry for the first time. And daily, when they wake up, my preschooler always smiles and says good mornin Mama, and the baby just laughs and smiles. Makes each day so much better! :)
My moment of joy was when my sister had her first child. A wonderful experience for all the family.

Seeing my little 16 month old niece scoot around on her rear end. The fact that she is alive is a miracle as she was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (essentially half a heart). She puts her pacifier in her mouth and scoots around her house and after the dog. She scrunches her nose at you when she smiles or wants to get you to laugh and she loves my shiny shoes and love to put them on her feet.
My favorite moment of joy was the first time my daughter saw a cat. HIt is her fAVORITE ANIMAL.
My latest moment of joy was last week watching my teenage son receive his academic letter at high school for his GPA !!

My favorite moments of joy is seeing my sons play together

My favorite moment is when bringing our second son home from the hospital, his "older" 2 year old brother didn't want anyone to hold him, only him. If someone wanted to hold him, they had to sit down first and my 2 year old would lecture them on how to hold his brother right.
Thanks so much.

As part of my job in a fairly big city one day I was asked to deliver something to a city building. While in that building, I couldn't believe my eyes but there was my boyfriend who had also been required for some reason to enter the same building I was in even though it was nowhere near his job in that city. We young lovers were so excited (read JOYFUL) by this serendipitous coincidence! He's my hubby of over 32 years now.

My favorite moments of joy were the births of my two children.
I don't think I can pick a single favorite moment- but one that is more recent is seeing my youngest begin to crawl & move around. She is 10 months old & has had a rough time since she was born...she is in physical & speech therapy & hitting the 'normal' milestones is a challenge for her, so to see her finally start to army crawl & be able to do so many mobile things, brings me a lot of joy!
I have joy in my children.

My first moment of joy was the moment I held my oldest child for the first time. It was like the whole world slowed down and focused on that single joyful moment. I will never forget that rush of true love.
