Army Sergeant Chase Briscoe was on a nine-month deployment in Poland right after his son Nathan was born. Before he left, Chase would put his son to sleep every night. With Chase away, his wife Deanna Briscoe knew Nathan needed a piece of his father with him when he went to bed.

Deanna bought Nathan a ‘Daddy doll’ which had Chase’s picture in uniform printed on it. She gave it to him when he was about six months old. Nathan’s reaction to the doll was priceless as he joyfully wiggled, giggled and ultimately grasped his "daddy" tightly in his little arms.

Watch the video above to see this baby react to his new ‘Daddy Doll!’
