If only we could all be as happy as baby Mateo when we're woken from our slumber.
The 6-month-old's reaction to his parents waking him shortly after he had fallen asleep stunned his mom and dad.
"One night my wife and I were really tired due to Mateo being up all night from having really bad colic," his dad, MarcAnthony Dukes, told FOX News.
