She's 68 Months Old...5 Years and 6 Months

myBachoochie is a big girl now!!!

When I first started this blog she was 14 months old. Since then we've had so many amazing experiences...from Sweden to Paris to Philippines...from pre-school to Kindergarten...from 'Bus' (RV) trips to hotel excursions ...from only child to Big Sister status.

Now, Miss C-Jaz is 68 months - which we recently calculated with her as she wanted to compare her age with her new baby brother - introducing...Big Jayke! More formally known as Jaycob Victorinio, or in short Jaycob Nio.

There's nothing like being awake after a 2am feed to get ready for Valentine's Day for my little girl, especially when there's no school tomorrow. Her little gifts will help fill our day with baking, crafting, writing, and snacking :)

Happy Valentine's :) Love today AND every day!

From Dancing with the Stars to Q'Viva Inspired Girly Dresses

Miss CJaz could not have gotten her model-posing from me! Her cuteness... yes! But her posing abilities...no way!

We were cross-border shopping on the long weekend, and to get her in a change room with me so that I could try on my own stash of clothes, I told Miss CJaz she could bring in a few dresses. I loved 4 dresses that I saw for her, but I forgot about the possibility that she may have to choose.

Of course she loved all 4, but I didn't want her to think she could get it all just because they were pretty dresses. We had a heated conversation, and even though she left the change room with arms folded across her chest, I was able to convince Miss CJaz to choose only 3 of the 4 dresses.

At the end of the day, Miss CJaz walked away with 5 dresses (the yellow and coral dresses being separate purchases). I got great deals for her dresses...all on sale :)...and I got 3 from my favorite store...Gap (even though they didn't choose her for their casting call).

I love my Girly Girl and dressing her up!!!
