From celebrities cooing over their little ones, to babies' hilarious antics with their furry friends, 2014 was jam-packed with sweet moments that we swooned over. It's a tough job to pick the top moments, but we've selected some of the most memorable ones that still tug at our heartstrings.

 

1. Kate Middleton and Prince George's royal tour appearances

All eyes were on little Prince George as he made his first big official appearance during Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal tour of Australia and New Zealand. The one-year-old captured the hearts of the world with his chubby cheeks and mischievous grin, and some beautiful mother-and-son moments were captured during the visit. This photo of George cuddling up to his mum was singled out by the Duchess as her favourite photo from the entire tour.

 

 

 

2. Minion baby falls over

While another baby might cry after falling over in its gigantic Halloween costume, this little one was not about to be put off by gravitational issues! As if the outfit itself wasn't cute enough, we couldn't help but smile as this tiny minion assured his family "I'm okay!"

 

 

 

 

3. Baby and puppy take a nap together

With so many adorable videos of babies and their furry friends doing the rounds, it was particularly hard to whittle the list down. We think you will agree, however, that this beautiful footage capturing a baby and a puppy cuddling up for naptime is one of the cutest things we have seen all year.

 

 

4. Baby's first laugh

Mums and dads will relate to the awe, wonder and elation at hearing your baby laugh for the first time. The beauty of that moment was captured in this video, which shows baby's hysterical laughter as well as dad's amazement. This is just so gorgeous. 

 

 

5. Tom and Giovanna Fletcher introduce baby Buzz

McBusted star Tom already captured our hearts with his stunning wedding speech, so we should have known that he would pull out all of the stops when it came to introducing his newborn son. In a stunning timelapse video that shows Giovanna's blooming baby bump, Tom is seen performing a song he wrote especially for his baby boy. This never gets old.

 

 

6. Son gives his mum the best Christmas surprise

Emigration is a subject close to many parents' hearts, especially at this time of the year, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house when this video came to light. Having been living away in Canada, this son decided to surprise his mum by returning home early for Christmas. We can imagine that there will be a lot of mums and dads reacting in this way over the coming days.

 

 

7. Kids' adorable reaction to finding out they're getting a baby

There were some pretty elaborate pregnancy announcement videos this year, but this one is right up there as the most adorable and touching one. These kids' reactions - the little girl especially - to the news that they are getting a baby brother or sister is just wonderful. Your heart will melt when you hear Caitlyn tell her parents that she 'can't thank them enough'!

 

 

8. Blue Ivy presents mum Beyoncé with a VMA award

They usually keep her out of the spotlight, so we were surprised and delighted to see Jay-Z and Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy, taking centre stage at this year's MTV VMA awards. Not only was little Blue on hand to cheer on her mum, but she also helped to present her Vangard Award. It was a beautiful moment for the family, and Beyoncé was left understandably speechless.

 

 

9. Two-month-old tells her daddy she loves him

This adorable little baby girl fights past the gurgles to tell her daddy just how much she loves him. This is simultaneously one of the cutest and most impressive things we have seen all year!

 

 

 

10. Baby hears his mum's voice for the first time

Nothing can be sweeter or more beautiful than when seven-week-old Lachlan hears his mum’s voice for the first time. His reaction, and that of his overjoyed parents, is wonderful to watch. Just check out that smile!
