They may be small— a mere 2 pounds each— and born 11 weeks premature, but that hasn’t stopped newborn twins Kristian and Kristiana from starting to bond.

Their mother, Anthea Jackson-Rushford, posted a video on Facebook of the twins holding hands against their father’s chest.

As the beanie-clad fraternal twins move gently, they grasp each other’s tiny hands as their dad looks down on them and smiles.

"He actually holds her hand,” Jackson-Rushford says in the video. “How is that possible? That's just unbelievable.”

As of Thursday morning, about 10.2 million people had viewed the video since being posted Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Fox 5 New York reported the twins are doing well.
