Twins Anaya and Myla turn heads wherever they go – and it is not just because they are so cute.
The seven-month-old twin sisters also attract a lot of attention because they are far from identical.
While dark skinned Myla takes after their mixed-race dad Kyle Armstrong, Anaya is more of a mummy’s girl with Hannah Yarker’s white complexion, as well as fair hair and light eyes.
Proud mum Hannah, 20, told the Mirror : “Everybody comments on them. People say ‘are they both yours?, ‘are they sisters’, ‘are they related’?”
“Because they’re not identical twins they both developed in separate sacs and Myla’s taken more of their dad’s genes and Anaya’s taken more of mine.”
Hannah, from Baguley, Wythenshawe , says she even joked about the possibility of having twins with different coloured skin during her pregnancy.
She said: “My family were asking when I was pregnant because my partner’s mixed race. They were saying ‘imagine if we got one of each’, that was the joke the whole way through.

“When we had them my partner turned round to me and said ‘they actually are, we’ve got one of each.”
Hannah, who was working as a receptionist at a doctors surgery, had to go on maternity leave early because she was too big to fit behind the desk.
“They were good weights as well for twins they say below the five pound mark is normal but Anaya was five nine and Myla was six five pounds.
“Twins have less room so they tend to weigh less but these two stretched me so they had plenty of room.
“They were born two minutes apart, I was only in hospital for a day and a half and they sent me home.”
And as well as looking different the girls are already developing their own personalities.
Hannah added: “We can’t believe they’re twins, they’ve got the same birthday, same mum and dad and they’re just complete opposites in every way.

“Myla is always on the move she’s already crawling, although backwards while Anaya’s laid back, she can’t even sit up she just lies there.”
But although her family and friends absolutely love the girls in all their differences Hannah is apprehensive about when they start school.
“I think it’s going to be quite difficult to explain to them when they’re older,” said Hannah.
“My friends have kids in school and the kids are quite brutal in a way, they want to know why you look like that if you’ve got the same parents.
“They’re going to have to explain that they’ve got the same birthday and they’ve got the same parents but they just look different.
“We’ll just take it as it comes I suppose.”
