  We present moderate and high resolution infrared spectroscopy of the peculiar
eruptive variable V838 Mon, which underwent a series of remarkable outbursts in
early 2002. During the period covered by our observations, 2002 December-2003
December, the near-infrared spectrum continued to show many of the
characteristics of a very cool supergiant. However, throughout this period the
spectrum also revealed strong and variable SiO first overtone emission, and
Paschen Beta emission. The 2003 December spectrum contained a series of Ti I
lines with inverse P Cygni profiles. This is clear evidence that some material
is falling inward towards the star.
