Happy Half Birthday to Me!
by delacybrown on February 2, 2022
Call me indulgent if you will, but being a summer baby, a pursuer of all things Summertime, by the time I get to the beginning of February, I am usually pretty fed up. Months of gloom, of dark evenings, and even darker mornings, freezing temperatures and ages still to go until those much yearned for summer holidays. And it's the same every year, which is precisely why, as a young boy, I decided to brighten up this time of gloom by inserting a celebration bang in the middle of the winter gloom – my half birthday! And today is that glorious day, the day when, despite it's being still 6 months until the always much anticipated date of my birth, I have a little mid-winter celebration, and find another excuse to indulge.
My half birthday cake!
So in recognition of the auspicious day, I merrily headed out to Marks and Spencer to buy myself a cake which I then proceeded to cut in half (I'm not overly sure what I will do with the other half yet… something tells me it won't keep until next year). In the meantime, I'm not the only one celebrating. Here is Norm celebrating his half birthday, with a half cake, half balloons and a half birthday card to boot. Just a shame that without the other half of that card, he has no idea who it was from!
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend.
What a wonderful idea! Happy half birthday …

I am so throwing myself a half birthday party this year. 🙂
Hope you have had a full-nice half-birthday.
Or you could, like the Mad Hatter, celebrate EVERY day.
“A very merry un-birthday to you…”
Great idea! Happy 1/2 birthday!!
Thanks 🙂
Who doesn’t love a celebration? Birthdays are too fun to only celebrate once per year, so why not celebrate twice…on your half birthday!
You may be thinking to yourself, why would I do that?
Well for starters, your birthday could fall on an unfortunate day of the year, say a major holiday. If your birthday is often overshadowed by that holiday, then it’s time to embrace your half birthday! Do you share your birthday with someone else? Use your half birthday to be all about you. Maybe your birthday falls in winter and you’ve always wanted to celebrate in the summer, well it’s time to throw that pool party! Or maybe you just like an excuse to eat cake. Whatever the reason, jump on the half birthday bandwagon!
There are so many great things about your half birthday.
Let’s go back to talking about cake. Who doesn’t love cake!? Your half birthday is the perfect excuse to indulge on dessert without the regret. It's also a great time to round up your closest friends for an impromptu get together. Wine, dine, see a movie… have a relaxing evening with your favorite people. Most importantly, your half birthday is a day to be all about you. How often do many of us find the time to do that?
Use your half birthday as an important time to think ahead on certain items.
Your driver’s license could be renewing this year and who wants to spend their birthday at the DMV? Take care of it early. Now is also a good time to look at your insurance policy. Insurance policy rates are based on your date of birth. Make any important changes or add a policy in the coming months before your real birthday hits!
So get out there and celebrate your half birthday! Make today about you!

Kidney Update…
We got an official all clear and a clean bill of health after his last renal ultrasound. Thank God and thank you so much for all your prayers.
And…
Baby E also loves to roll, kick, babble, sit up (on Thursday he sat up all on his own for the first time then immediately toppled over) and party in the wee hours. He was a great sleeper in the beginning but now he is all about that night life at least 5x per week. Pray for a sister!
If you ask the Hubs, he will say his first word was “Dada.” Now granted he does say “dadada” over and over but is that really a word? Do I sound like a hater? I am!
Oh but wait, come back for more of Baby E over the next few weeks. I'll be sharing my favorite photo from months 1-6 since he blessed us with his arrival along with our birth story and the sweet big sister & baby brother love.
