Born to be loved

These days HG often wakes up at night, typically before midnight, comes out of the bedroom and search for us while crying. Often we found him crawling, or even crashed on to the floor and passed out sticking his butt up. Every time this happens our precious night time gets obviously intervened, so we're hoping he'll overcome it soon, but he's so cute at the same time.
