Applique Coverall with Zipper in Lotus I Love Grandma

Applique Coverall with Zipper in Lotus I Love GrandmaI love Grandma, said sweetly on petal pink. "I love Grandma," says the baby who cannot talk yet, right there on the seat of this petal pink coverall. The flap snaps open and reads "I [heart] grandma," the word stitched in soft cursive under a plush red heart, a little declaration made on the littlest one's behalf. The blush is gentle, the white trim is clean, and the whole thing is cut for the newborn weeks when a baby is all softness and brand new

and the silhouette does the rest: a gentle keyhole at the throat that ties closed at the back of the neck

lined up like a quiet game of green statues

hands-in-pockets ready

and the gently ruched sides drape easy over a shape still finding itself again

Worn here as a matched top-and-bottom set

cocoa in hand

cocoa-rich maroon that goes with everything

Crisp stripes in teal

The woven viscose-from-bamboo keeps the whole thing light and breathable through the warmest stretch of the afternoon

There is something tender about a color this gentle on a layer this generous

Match it with the little gardener's and let the two of them tend the morning side by side

it stretches from that first tiny crib mattress all the way up to a big-kid twin
