Lance Bassand husband Michael Turchin certainly have their hands full with two newborn babies — but lucky for them, twinsViolet Betty and Alexander Jamesare making it easy!
“It’s actually been better than expected,” he says. “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 adds, “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 says. “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 notes 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 says. “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.’ "

Among the special touches they included was a Nursery Works Compass Rocker, which Bass says he likes to settle into at the end of the day for his favorite part so far of raising his kids.
“When they’re sleeping on your chest,” he says, “that’s the best feeling in the world.”
