I think it's rather common around me to throw a tiny celebration each months on the first year. A treat and a small message to the family never hurts 🤷

Plus, 8 months is super round, it's a power of two and 2/3 of a year ☝️🤓

Lol, you got lots of down votes friend, but I too appreciate the number 8. It's nice and it's twice my favorite number.

Poor kid will never get an un-birthday though. 😭

Anyway, happy un-birthday to YOU! 🫵 AND You! 👉

Aww thanks friend! Might be my new favorite number after that whole point about laying it on its side.

Yeah, we didn't celebrate but we were very aware of each month passing in the first year of our children. Especially since it is a time where they develop very fast. A five month old baby is very different to a eight month old baby. The first year felt like reinventing the whole family routines every couple of weeks.

So, yeah. There are things to make fun of and ridicule about the Trumps, but beeing happy that a person you love and have a conection to is getting older and changing is not one of them for me. Regardless of who is doing it.
