Knitted leg woolies are a great, Springtime alternative for baby to pair with rompers. A little extra warmth + still being able to see a little thigh chunk while kiddo is kick, kick, kicking= good stuff. They work for girl or boy (embroider trucks and lightening bolts, if trees aren’t your guy-gig), so whip up a pair to go with all of your favorite onsies!
