Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays!

The last week has been all about BIRTHDAYS!
Our most recent post was all about our new niece, Danika's, "original" birthday...and it has not stopped there.
The 8th of August is actually shared by Collin's Grandma Jan who has her birthday that day as well. We celebrated a belated birthday with Grandma Jan this weekend and although Collin did not sing to her, he did wish her happy birthday, repeatedly....as well as announcing without prompting that he is going to be "two"... a skill we have been working on lately.

We also celebrated JJ Hammill's one year birthday. Curious George was the theme of the day and everyone enjoyed family, friends and food, appropriately featuring banana flavored Oreo's (surprisingly tasty!) and a fabulous George birthday cake handmade by JJ's grandma. This time Collin did participate in singing "Happy Birthday." He had a 1/3 chance of inserting JJ's name in the correct spot as he normally sings about JJ or his friend Bryce or himself (of course...) when we "practice" at home. Happily, JJ was his birthday boy of choice at the appropriate time!

Party! The Birthday Boy is the handsome young man in red.

All this birthday action has inspired us to do a countdown to Collin's second birthday, quickly approaching on September 27...as a result, a "ticker" has been added to the top of the Rosenau Review. I can't believe how quickly time flies...

That count down counter is cool! Where did you find that?
