Why would my situationship text me this?

He randomly texted me “baby” last night. I said “ hahah hi handsome. Merry Christmas” and he replied “ merry Christmas sweet” and then I asked him “ are you drunk lol” and he said “okay maybe” and then never said anything after that. He also called me randomly a couple days ago to say hi. What’s the random “ baby” text lol I’m confuseddd
