Jason Bateman on his affectionate nightowl

Who needs sleep? Certainly not Jason Bateman‘s daughter, Francesca Nora. The tyke, who will turn 1 on Oct. 28, likes to keep her daddy up every night with her signature wiggle.

She’s got the wiggle, ‘I don’t want to sleep’ part down! She might want to move on to something else — like being quiet and sleeping.

The lack of sleep doesn’t bother the 38-year-old actor, who was used to going to bed early, because "I became an adult before I had a kid, which I highly recommend." Since he’s well-prepared for fatherhood, Jason is definitely cherishing quality time with his loving daughter.

I just like to throw her around. She’s a real good snuggler and she likes to give kisses and hugs. And her neck smells fantastic! You just want to ball her up and stuff her in your pocket. I’m doing all that until she gets too big and doesn’t want to kiss her dad anymore.

Jason is married to actress Amanda Anka.
