Be prepared to lose your cool.

Macao's panda twins, Dabao and Xiaobao, made their public debut on Tuesday, and we can hardly handle the cuteness.

Their caretakers at the Macao Giant Panda Pavilion celebrated the twins' one-month birthday with mini cakes and even sang them a birthday song.

The double bundle of joy were born 45 minutes apart on June 26. Their mum, Xinxin, was given to the Macanese government by mainland China in 2014 to celebrate the city's 15th anniversary of reunification with China.

The twins whose names mean "Big treasure" and "Little treasure" were named so because of their difference in weight at birth -- 135 grams and 53.8 grams, respectively.

Dabao and Xiaobao are reportedly in good health and will continue to receive 24-hour care until they're big enough to join the rest of the adult pandas at the research facility.
