Watch These Newborn Preemie Twins Do Something Incredible in Their Father's Arms
These twins prove you’re never too young for a little human connection and sibling love.
Kristian Ian Rushford and Kristiana Micaela Rushford were born 11 weeks premature in Melbourne, Australia, to Anthea Jackson-Rushford and her husband Glen, the Daily Mail reported. They only weighted about 2 pounds each but the two formed an immediate bond.
Recently, Jackson-Rushford caught a beautiful moment between the two of them on video — while snuggling against their father’s chest, they held hands.
The video, posted to YouTube earlier this month, has already been viewed nearly 225,000 times. Jackson-Rushford has since also posted a photo of the twins holding hands to her Facebook page.
