Congrats on walking cupcakes, I still love watching L running around, she still looks so small.
Re shoes I have for the last five years been a total fuss pot and usually go to a small independent shoe shop near me that stocks lots of brands ricosta, pediped, ecco, bobell....) but after spending half an hour in there yesterday trying every pair they had and not liking any I finally succumbed and went to Clark's. it was actually the outlet shop and got current season pair for £20-- happy days 
Birdies I use a munchkin shampoo cup and like Lora just pour it over her head.
For pull up nappies I used pampers easy up ones as they are like nappies, huggies ones are more geared up for potty training and less absorbent. Not sure about own brand versions as DD1 had a reaction to their nappies.
Happy / Glorious hope you had a good night. What was the mystery Glorious?
DD1 has party today, think most of the year is invited. Hall full of screaming girls, fun fun fun! 
. tried to get DH to take her but I lost ' paper, scissor, stone'. The bugger always wins

I seem to remember putting DS1 in pullups at about the same age. I have a giant box of pampers to get through and then I might get some. Tescos are good, Boots tended to leak a bit and I never spent the money on Pampers pullups so no comparison here. Although, I have found since ordering them bulk online its not quite such a horrendous difference from supermarket price.
Well done on the walking MiniCupcakes! Have fun at the party Lost!
Off to soft play today. Yay!

Yay on the walking mini cupcakes! Loving the bat mobile!
Hope you had a good night last night glorious? What was the surprise?
I was DDs hair, it has to be done almost every night as she smears food in her hair
Urgh on the baldy bows!! Who would actually stick a bow to their baby's bald head using adhesive!!??
We've not gone for any hair accessories yet, she won't even keep a hat on never mind a clip in her hair
Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
Ds1 is currently sat repeating banana banana banana banana banana over and over and over again, am I ok to gag him?

I like those Mrsbugs, dd has got crazy hair, it's only just started lying flat on her head, the last 12 months she looked like she had been electrocuted I actually quite miss it.
Not long enough to put a clip in just yet, although I'm dreading when the time comes as she hates anything on her head!

Party was amazing, they were fine to drop and go, so I got to spend two hours in a coffee shop and have uninterrupted food and conversation. obviously did not mention this to DH, haha stick your scissors, sucker
I try and put clips in L's hair but she keeps pulling them out so have given up for now (mrs bug, yes your right on choking hazard) her hair is a mess at the mo.

yes probably a choking hazard but she is no 4 and frankly the lego, monopolyy pieces and randon shit picked up by older dc more of a worry. truthfully at this point am woreyingly relaxed
lost party sounds good...always love a drop and run! :)
Ivy a proper grump today. we have all spent today trying to entertain her oh god the rod we are making She rewarded us by saying'ni ni' and waving when the boys and i were putting her to bed!

Aww lolli DD1 had that kind of electrified hair. I assumed Molly would get it too, but she didn't. I remember missing it once it grew out with DD1 too.
Molly will tolerate clips if she doesn't notice them, but once she's noticed them, game's over.
Too excited about walking in this house. She has this enormous grin all over her face from the moment she spots me across the room, through the toddle waddle, to the moment she hurls herself at me from about a metre away. I LOVE this age. But yes, there are no babies anymore 
Molly slept all night last night. The night before too. There is no rhyme or reason to it, since until the night before that she was a regular twice-a-night waker and we tried bf, milk in a sippy cup, nothing, water in a sippy cup - sometimes one worked, sometimes the other worked... wish I knew the magic answer.
Oh and I've decided - bf is coming to an end. We're down to morning and evening, with sippy cups of milk afterwards. Not sure which to drop first, but perhaps it won't be the drama I'm dreading...?

I went to get jabs last week and was told that the apmt was the day before so we had missed it. I'd actually rung the day before to check the time as I had to wait 2 weeks to even get an apmt and they gave me the wrong date! So the receptionist said she would ask the nurse if she could squeeze us in. ....she said no. So I plonked X on the desk and said "I'm not leaving until she gets her jabs". Felt rather proud of myself but could feel my face burning red, not so cool! She got her jabs though
Interested to read the giving up bf tips. I'm having a nightmare with pain on latching at the mo, I need to give up but she doesn't want anything else to drink and I can't seem to get her to sleep without feeding her to sleep. Help?!

Apples - 'ni, ni' too cute, go Ivy
Re BF, I cut out one a week over three weeks, the night being last to go. I got DH to give her cup for couple of nights then tried myself. She moaned and pushed cup away for a bit but then gave in when I pretended to drink madam wants whatever is not hers
MrsB, with DD1 I just did night feed for quite a while and supply was fine.
Check this made me laugh apologies if link fail, I'm a techno idiot and can't figure it out m.youtube.com/watch?v=MLErNXIYjMg
