Lance Bassis in “heaven” with his two bouncing babies!
The *NSYNC star, 42, shared a trio of adorable photosto his Instagram on Thursday, showing his newborn twinsViolet Betty and Alexander Jamesas they reclined in their onesies and cooed.
“The kids have hit the giggling phase now,” Bass wrote in the caption. “It’s heaven!”
The former boyband starwelcomed his childrenwith husband Michael Turchin via surrogate in October of this year.
Earlier this month,the famous couple spoke to PEOPLEabout how fatherhood has been treating them thus far, saying it’s been “easier” than initially expected.
“It’s actually been better than expected,” Bass said in last week’s issue of PEOPLE. “It’s been a lot easier than we thought. We’re just lucky — and knocking on wood right now that this doesn’t change.”
He added, “They’ve been so well-behaved. They don’t make too much noise. They cry when they need to get changed and fed.”
“I thought once the kids came, I’d just be constantly a nervous wreck,” he said. “And it was literally the most opposite. I think because we were just so calm and not in crazy new parent mode, when they came, we were just going with the flow. I think that rubs off on the kids, I think they really pick up on that. They’re just such relaxed, fun, good kids so far.”

Despite being twins, Turchin noted that Violet and Alexander are already showing off “two very different personalities,” much like he and his own twin sister did as babies.
“[Violet] is way more strong-willed and way more active, and way more opinionated and vocal. And then little Alexander is such a sweet, docile little boy,” he said. “Right now they’re just starting the phase where they’re starting to smile back at you. It’s the best thing in the world, when you see that smile on their little faces. It’s like, ‘Oh God, I never want to leave this house ever again.’ "
