Most parents will want to document their little one's cutest moments, especially their firsts. There's nothing more special than watching your child take his first steps or lose his first tooth. For all tiny tots, though, there will be plenty of firsts they'll experience, and not all fleeting moments can be captured on camera. The big milestones, however, should be commemorated (as well as some silly ones), so read on to see the top 15 photos every parent should take of their child. And then check out these must-take pictures of baby's first day.

First Time Eating Solid Food

It will be a mess, but at least moms and dads will have photos to look back on and laugh at!

First Potty-Training Success

Capture your child mastering his potty-training lessons like a pro (minus shots of the actual toilet).

First Time Blowing Bubbles

Bubbles are a childhood pastime, and they make for awesome snaps.

First Tooth Lost

Who can resist a toothy grin? For an extraspecial shot, zoom in on the actual gap!

First Holiday

Your child's first holiday is one for the books. To make shooting photographs more fun, use props; they'll keep your child entertained while you take the perfect shot.

First Bike Ride

Before your tiny tot zooms away on his or her bike, snap a candid photo of their first solo ride.

Sandy feet and sun-kissed cheeks will make your child's photos twice as cute.

Your emotions may kick into high gear when it's your child's first day of school, but don't forget to snap a photo of this special day.

First Sibling Meeting

An older sibling meeting their little brother or sister for the first time is a moment you'll want to treasure forever.
