My son’s first birthday party!
My husband and I tried for almost four years to become pregnant with our first child. After much prayer and frustration, we finally found out that we were expecting and it was one of the single most joyous day of our lives. From that very first moment, we were determined to document every precious first-time event through writing and taking photographs.
My son’s first time in the walker!
The first thing that I did was to start keeping a journal throughout my pregnancy to have a record of all of the thoughts and emotions that I was experiencing. We also started putting together a photo album that included all of the sonogram images that we were given at my obstetrician appointments.
His first time eating real food!
Obviously, the culminating moment of our joy was the birth of our son in June. It was during that very moment that my husband and I learned what it meant to fall in “love at first sight.” We never imagined that we could ever love another human being as much as we loved our son. Starting the minute that he was born, we made sure that we cherished every single “first” moment that we shared together from the day we brought him home from the hospital to the moment he took his first steps.
As the #1 choice of hospitals in North America and the first diaper worn by millions of babies, Pampers Swaddlers comforts and protects babies through their entire journey of firsts, helping to ensure their happy, healthy development. Pampers understands there is nothing more joyful or rewarding than the precious first-time moments shared by little ones and their families. In honor of this special journey, Pampers has released a compilation video entitled “Firsts” that highlight those wondrous “first” experiences together.
We loved Pampers Swaddlers when our baby was wearing diapers because they kept him dry at night and we felt that they were more flexible and comfortable than other diapers. I was very excited to learn that they are now available through size 6! Mothers all over the country can now have their babies enjoy the softness and comfort of Pampers Swaddlers all throughout their diapering years.

I have always thought that First Steps are so fun and memorable.
Thank you for the nice giveaway!
I entered your Purex Giveaway.
My favorite milestone is always the first smile, it just melts my heart.
I think my favorite milestones were when my boys each took their first step. They were both very late walkers, so I feel like it took ages to get get up and walking.
My favorite was them saying DaDa and their first steps
I entered Purex giveaway, thanks
Their are so many precious milestones in a child’s life. My favorite was their first steps.
I love the 1st giggles, those are my fav!
I love his first word
My favorite is the first time the baby nurses…and the first time you hold them.
The first words were our favorite milestones. Our oldest was speech delayed, so once she began talking we were so relieved!
my favorite firsts are the first time i held her for a long time and our first night together. after the first I needed sleep too much to enjoy it that much again haha.
The major first that I remember with my son is when he started walking more than 2 steps at a time. I got it on video and I watch it often. Such a great time!
Pampers Swaddlers were the first diapers all 3 of my kiddos wore. As for first moments, I think documenting the first smiles were the best. 🙂
I honestly don’t know what diapers my niece uses on her baby girl-I sure hope she uses these! I’d say the best first was when my Mom–her Great Grandmom waved to her and she waved back. First wave–her grandma was kind of upset-she had been trying to get her to wave for a while–one wave from my Mom and that little girl waved back!
the first smile and the first words would be my favorites
I love my son’s first giggle
You’ll never forget all of the firsts! The first steps were such a milestone. Everything changes after the babies start moving!
My favorite firsts are the first smiles and first laugh. I loved seeing them happy.
What a sweet story. I didn’t struggle, but I am definitely documenting all of my kids’ firsts.
I love all of the firsts, but my favorites are the first smile, first time saying mama, and first time walking.
I love their first giggles and smiles. Although potty training is a headache that is a big mile stone I also love.
You are so good with keeping a journal. I did not do it and I regret. I agree: Pampers are the best
My favorite first milestone was baby first smile. I wish I had kept a journal too
My favorite first milestone was watching my baby start to crawl! I knew he was growing up and his personality was developing so fast! And his first steps were on Christmas day so I will always remember that!
Who cares about the diapers – look at that face! I love the picture of the first meal. How precious.
We enjoy those first teeth. Shiny and white and oh so sharp. We don’t enjoy the pain of getting them.

I think the first laugh is my favorite. Great giveaway
I’m pregnant now so I can not WAIT to experience ALL the milestones!! so exciting!
I loved and still love every milestone I cried for all of them with all 6. I’m such a baby myself.
Walking has always been a great milestone for us. I love watching them try to figure it out, then on to running!
What sweet photo’s! Pampers has been one of my favorite brands on my babies. My baby is starting to talk so much, makes me kind of sad really. Goes by so fast!
Oh, those pictures are adorable. I remember the first time my son laughed out loud. That was the best!
Holding my son for The first time was such a priceless moment that I will never forget.
How adorable! You are bringing back some of my most beautiful memories of my babies births. I did get a ton of pampers at the showers
I think my favorite memory was when my daughter said “momma” for the first time!
That picture of him eating for the first time is priceless!! We always liked Pampers.
I love seeing these flashback moments. Great photos and memories!
I’ve been seeing the pampers videos a lot lately, so cute !
I loved when she started walking. Now she wont sit still, she’s all over the place.
My favorite milestone was when my kids started to learn how to talk. It is amazing how quickly a few words turn into whole sentences.
My favorite milestone was the first time my son said mama. I love all your pictures.
How sweet! I am loving these pics! My favorite memories were going in to wake them first thing in the morning and seeing their smiles.
I know how precious a baby is when you have to wait for 4-years, undergoing so much of frustration. The photos are so beautiful & he is absolutely cute. It is always a pleasure to witness those first moments of walking, talking, fighting & many more. Pampers is the one which I have used for both my babies all through the years.
My favorite first so far is the couple steps that my 11 month old took to her big sister. Something about knowing she took her first steps to go to her sissy’s arms makes it just extra special to me
My favorites was the first word and taking steps. You can never take those memories away.
I loved witnessing baby’s first steps. I also entered your Purex giveaway.
My favorite firsts were the first smiles and laughs. They brought joy to my heart.
Her first smile was precious. I also celebrated the first time she slept through the night! 🙂
My favorite milestone with all three of my girls was when they slept through the night. For my oldest that was huge accomplishment as she had colic for the first 2 years of her life.
My favorite first is when i held them for the first time and they started nursing.
My favorite milestone was when he crawled for the first time, it was so adorable, he went backwards, he giggled, I will never forget it
My Favorite Milestone Was When Our Baby Smiled For The First Time. I Also Enjoyed Watching My Oldest Niece Take Her First Steps.
My favorite was when my daughter smiled when she took her first step
I loved the first night that she slept all the way thru till morning. I also loved when she took her first steps.
My favorites were when my son rolled over for the very first time and the first time he said mama…it melted my heart!

I’m pregnant with my first baby and due this summer, so I’m looking forward to the first breathe, first smile, first laugh, first crawl, and first steps!
My favorite milestones with my children were when they took their first step. The second is when they slept all the way through the night.
I loved it when my little man started smiling. It is the best feeling in the world when he smiles at me.
I really loved my daughter’s first giggle. She is 3 now and still has the cutest little laugh.
My favorite was when they could suck their toes or rock on their hands and knees. Had 4 sons but now 5 grandchildren and the twins are 5 months old Rosanne
I would definitely say when my babies could start eating solid foods and also when they first started walking!
I loved my sons first smile and laugh. I think it really shows how much he loves and appreciates me when he smiles and laughs! such a sweet first!
I’m pregnant with my first baby and I’m due this summer, I’m looking forward to having many first like first smile, first laugh, first crawl, and first steps!
My fave milestone was hearing my son laugh. It was such a funny sound and a moment I will always cherish.
My favorites were when he rolled over for the first time and when he did a belly laugh.
One of my favorite moments was when they handed her to me after she was born. The minute I laid eyes on her, I was in love! Another first that I love was her first words “mama”. She loves to say it, and honestly, I love to hear it 🙂 She is my number 1 fan and I am hers! Julie [email protected]
I’m looking forward to the first word.
My favorite milestone was when my son had his first real laugh! It was absolutely priceless. The real giggle that comes up from the belly just makes you smile!
I think my favorite first milestone would have to be when my daughter took her first steps.
My favorite milestone was my son’s first kicks in my belly! I can’t wait to meet him in April and see many more ‘firsts’!
My favorite is their first words!!
My favorite firsts with my son (our firstborn) were his smile and laugh. He was really colicky so seeing him happy made me happy!
I liked it when they first learned to walk. They’d get so excited that they would fall down.
I really enjoyed seeing her take her first steps. I also loved to see her smile for the first time!
I loved seeing them learn to walk, such joy and freedom!
My favorites were always those first smiles and first giggles. There’s nothing cuter than a giggly baby.
My favorite milestone was the first step. They are so stunned that they can do it that they just kind of stand there and look at you wondering what they do next!
