Looking back on the many moments of joy I have experienced as a mother over the past eight years, I cannot help but smile when I think of all those special milestones I was so blessed to have been able to witness. One such milestone that left me feeling OVERjoyed was the day my daughter took her very first steps. She was only ten months old and had only just begun to crawl. In fact, she waited until the day after my first Mother's Day to crawl for the very first time. So you can imagine my surprise when she decided to take her first steps later that same day! The look of excitement and sheer pride on her face brought a tear to my eye.

Becoming a first-time mom can change your life OVERnight and often leaves you feeling OVERwhelmed, especially in those final days of pregnancy when you're OVERanxious because you're OVERdue and just plain OVERtired. At the end of the day, after changing what feels like the millionth diaper, you realize how it was simply worth it to be able to experience those precious moments with that special little someone. 

In a few days, Fisher-Price is launching the Million Moments of Joy campaign which celebrates the real joys of motherhood. To kick it off with a bang, Fisher-Price will also be launching a contest where you can upload a photo and caption on the contest website and enter to win one of eight weekly prizes.
