Your baby's first year: Photo shoots, smash cakes, more
In the blink of an eye, your baby's first year will come and go.
But we know you're documenting every moment -- from their first smile or giggle to their funny facial expressions the first time they try solid foods, when they learn how to crawl and more.
Whether it's your gender reveal photos, your baby's birth announcement or your child's first birthday smash cake photo shoot, we want to see all of your baby's first-year photos.
You can submit them here. (Captions are submitted by readers who share their photos.)

My daughter Malia was born two months premature and is currently in the NICU at Stony Brook. I was sad that I could not celebrate her first Halloweeen with her like I typically could, but despite all her wires and monitors the nurse was kind enough to help me put clothes on her for the first time and do a little photo shoot with my daughter so I could have some first Halloween pictures of her. I can?t tell you how grateful we are as parents to have this joyful moment with our daughter.
