Spoil The Child

I have the hardest time trying not to spoil my daughter. I know that eventually she is going to grow up and I will eventually have to switch to telling her "No", but she is just so freaking cute! My daughter, Macy, is 7 months old and it still amazes me how she makes me feel. I'm sure any mother knows what I am talking about, you can't deny your children. I spoil the crap out of Macy! I think she knows it to. She is so smart and observant. I got my taxes back the other day and went to go buy her new clothes because she is growing so fast that she has already grown out of her 12 month clothes that she got for christmas. I spent a BUNCH of money on her. She is my only child, which also makes her my first, so I can't help but spoil her. She loves me to death. She will raise her arms and look at me with a pitiful look so that I will pick her up. It always works on me! I can't help it! Everytime she gives me that look I just melt. Anyway, I brought all the stuff I bought for her home and pulled everything out of the bags and showed them to her. I said, "Look what mommy got you!" and her face just lit up and she squealed with delight! I give her attention all the time. My poor husband is like, "Where is my lovin' at?". He spoils Macy to. Macy loves to play with Brian and in return Brian thinks it's so cute so he plays with her all the time. She is very loved if you haven't figured that out by now. This is just the half of my story. This blog is really about the toy box that I specially ordered for her. I had a nice room all to myself until my siblings were born. I was spoiled until two years later when my sister came into this world. No, I don't hate my siblings, I love them. Since I had Macy, I couldn't decide if I wanted to get my tubes tied or if I wanted to have another child someday so I got this birth control called the Implanon. It is a little rod that they insert into your arm and it doesn't come out for three years. I figured that was a good choice because three years should be plenty of time to decide if I want another baby. I don't want another baby right now though. I'm a very busy lady as it is and I want to give Macy some time to enjoy being the only child while she is still young. I want to spoil her a little bit 'cause she is my first and only baby. I was told a long time ago that I probably wouldn't be able to have children because I have Crohn's Disease, but Macy came out very healthy. I didn't have one problem with her when I was pregnant and the Pediatrician says she is very healthy and developing perfectly. I was put on high risk though while I was pregnant so that way they could monitor me and make sure nothing did go wrong, so, yea, I'm gonna love and spoil Macy for a long while. Anyway, back to the bedroom conversation, I have took it upon myself to personalize and beautify my daughter's room. I've done a really good job, if I do say so myself! Her room is entirely covered in pink and purple butterflies and flowers. I bought a lot of the stuff like her lamp, night light, wall decorations, blankets, cushions, and rugs from the Sugar Plum collection by CoCaLo at Babies R' Us. Anyway, I found a wooden bench toy box that matched the collection and purchased it. I had to order it online because it wasn't sold in stores. The toy box finally came in on Friday and I made my husband, Brian, put the toy box together. I sat my daughter on my lap and let her watch Brian put the toy box together. I pointed and said, "Look what mommy got you! Something to put your toys in! Isn't it pretty?" She just smiled and squealed with delight! I was so happy and the toy box was cute! I am going to protect that thing with my life and maybe someday she can give it to her daughter. That freakin' thing cost me $200.00! It was all worth it though whenever Brian got it all put together and I sat her on top of it. She just loved it! She was giggling and kicking her feet with a big grin on her face while she was sitting on top of it! I'm such a sucker for that little grin of hers! Well, here are some pictures of my daughter and her toy box. I wonder if I'm crazy for spending that amount of cash on that toy box for her matching room.
