Jadon and Anias - the conjoined twin boys separated last week in a story that swept the world - have opened their eyes.
The 13-month-old boys are still recovering in their hospital beds in the Bronx's Montefiore Hospital five days after their 27-hour separation surgery.
And on Tuesday morning, both of them opened their eyes for the first time on CNN Facebook Live.
Compared to his brother, Jadon was relatively stable throughout the surgery, and has made an incredibly fast recovery. He moved his left arm the other day, and now they are working on his left leg. Importantly, he is reacting to people.
He had already opened his eyes, and is now starting to smile. But Tuesday was the first time Anias opened his - and Jadon did so at the same time.
Even though Anias' eyes only peeked open a bit, it was far more than doctors expected at this time.
Their parents, Nicole and Christian, joked to CNN that Anias 'just loves the camera'.
Anias struggled throughout the surgery. With every cut, his heart rate plummeted.
The boys shared a lot more blood vessels than their surgeon had anticipated.
He has yet to move, he is only just coming out of his anesthetic. But his parents said they are optimistic about his recovery as well.
On Friday, Nicole posted the first photo of the boys lying side by side in adjacent hospital beds.
Speaking to CNN on Tuesday, Christian said the next step is getting them lying next to each other in the same bed.
Their mother Nicole McDonald shared a photo of them together when they were first reunited on Friday afternoon.
'Finally reunited. How surreal,' the 31-year-old wrote on Facebook.
'I now realize that I always saw you as separate because seeing you like this is really nothing different to me.
'When I stand at your bedside, Jadon, it's almost as if Anias is still there. Anias, when I leaned over you I protected my hair from Jadon. But the view is still the same.
'This is how I always saw you. I love you so much. Now it's time to step forward into the new chapter of our life. I'm ready to fight and I know you are too.'
She added: 'Thank you, Dr Goodrich, Dr Tepper, Kamilah, Martine, Dr Kahana, Dr Mann and everyone else at Montefiore. Your hands performed a miracle today. We love you.'
Nicole said that neither she nor her husband Christian initially wanted to go public with their story, until they realized it would provide the chance to give credit to the people who saved their sons.
The mother-of-three has been flooded with supportive messages on her Facebook, but Nicole now wanted to turn the attention 'back to the true heroes of our story'.
'The real heroes of this story are the people who have put countless hours, days and months into the success of today,' she began in her Facebook post on Saturday.
The operation costs $2.5 million.
The family has health insurance, which covers a significant amount of the $2.5 million surgery.
However, they are $100,000 short.
