365/57...Bam Bam

Meet Bam Bam. He is a special member of our family, especially to Chase. It's funny how you buy your kids stuffed animals, and dolls or they receive them as gifts and you think the most expensive ones or the ones that came from special places or people would become the ones that your kids would become attached to. But it doesn't work that way. Bam Bam was a souvenier that Chad and I brought back for Chase when we went away for a weekend when he was a baby. He was bought more out of obligation than anything because we had already gotten a gift for Marissa and even though Chase was little enough he probably wouldn't have noticed not getting anything, we had to keep it fair. He sat in the closet for a long time until one day, kind of suddenly, Chase latched onto him and he hasn't gone far ever since. Someday I suppose he will be long gone which is why I am so thankful to have moments like this in photos.
