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.

Jason Bateman: "I miss my daughter when I'm sleeping"

Juno star Jason Bateman brought daughter Francesca Nora, 10 months, to this week’s Toronto Film Festival, and it’s a good thing too considering how much the 38-year-old can’t stand to be away from her. Jason says life with Francesca gets better each day and each day, he misses her even more.

She’s pulling herself up, standing up, and she’s crawling. She’s laughing. She’s really playing. She’s a toddler right now. I love it. I miss her more every day. Now, I miss her when I’m sleeping.

Describing her personality, the actor says Francesca takes after both of her parents. Jason’s wife is actress Amanda Anka.

She’s a very, very happy kid. She’s always smiling, wanting to hang out and touch hands and be held. My wife and I are both pretty much like that, although I’m prone to mood swings. She does like to smile.
