Professional wrestling team members Nikki and Brie Bella are twins, they both got pregnant around the same time last year — and they both had boys, a day apart. Their sons get to basically grow up as twins, too, even though they're cousins. Brie named her son Buddy, and Nikki named hers Matteo — and they are so cute. Seriously, the photos of Nikki and Brie Bella's newborns will bowl anyone over with their adorableness. The boys even look alike, further adding to the basically twins situation.
Matteo was born first on July 31, and is the first child for Nikki and her fiancé, Artem Chigvintsev of Dancing with the Stars fame. Then came Buddy on August 1, bringing Brie's family with wrestler husband Daniel Bryan up to four. (They are proud parents to a 3-year-old little girl named Birdie.)
Based on how cute Matteo and Buddy are, we hope that Nikki and Bella end up having a whole bunch of kids — and, if they do, maybe they'll even time it so they can be pregnant together again. It has to be fun to go through something like that with a sister. Until they pop out babies two and three, though, let's take a look at how cute their current newborns are.

Tiny hands
Like how Brie's first image of Buddy was the family holding hands? Welp, Nikki's was similar. (Twins sure think alike, huh?) Nikki posted Matteo gently grabbing her finger, while Artem wrapped a protective hand around his son — and she posted that as the first glimpse of her newborn. Quite an entrance into the IG world.
Ready for his close-up
Nikki waited a couple of weeks before she shared her son's face on Instagram. At first, she just showed his tiny hand, but on August 26, she gave fans the chance to see Matteo's face. He's such a cute baby, and he really looks like he's posing for his big Instagram close-up.
Sleeping beauties
As the saying goes for parents of newborns: Sleep when they sleep. Matteo's dad Artem took that advice to heart, and Nikki captured the cute moment for Instagram. "Dada needed nap time as much as Teo," Artem joked in the caption.
We feel that.
Football season
The NFL is back in full swing, and Brie and her husband, Daniel, couldn't resist dressing Buddy up for the occasion. Brie's an Eagles fan, and Daniel likes the Seahawks, so Buddy is gonna have a difficult choice when he gets old enough to pick a team. We're just team supercute baby.
Supporting dad
To celebrate the recent premiere of Dancing With the Stars, Good Morning America sent little Matteo a sparkly DWTS onesie. Artem is one of the pros on the reality show, and Matteo looks so cute being his dad's little fan. "My number one supporter," Artem proudly captioned this pic.
Little koala
Brie captioned this photo of baby Buddy, "My little koala," and she's so right. He's giving mama a big koala bear hug as he naps on her stomach. Sleeping babies are so peaceful, it's easy to forget that they can sometimes be total terrors when they wake up. We've just gotta enjoy every sleepy moment we can.
