July is a busy birthday month. We have three babies who turned one (Addison, William, and Annie), and Camille turned two! After the birthday party, one of our interns gave the children impromptu violin "lessons." It was great fun, and all the kids had a very happy birthday.

It's hard to believe, but little Addison turned 1! |
Camille was the big girl of the day, but she did not want any cake. Instead, she ate a lot of Lychees. |
William liked the cake,
but not the crown. |
|
|
|
Is this cake for me? |
It's Addison's turn to make a wish. |
She gets a little help blowing out the candle from Abigail. |

|
William was a little
scared of the flame. |
Annie's ready to blow out the candle when it is her turn. |
You can look; just don't touch! |

Addison likes the sweet taste... |
...not as much as William, though! He really knows how to eat! |
Cheryl gets her piece of cake. |
|
|
|
Sarah finishes her cake. |
Can you fit all of that in your mouth at once, Olivia? |
Adrian, let's see you
take one more bite! |
