Jennie--two words, we do this all the time in my house:
Half Birthday.
(hubby, son and I are all within a week of each other in Oct-November, then daughter is New Year's Eve. Makes for 10 months with no birthdays in the house, too long & dry a spell, so we do half birthdays, quarter birthdays, sometimes third birthdays. Had my kids understanding fractions before kindergarten, nothing like the incentive of a present & cake to make them pay attention.)
Seriously.
Half Birthday. Quarter Birthday. Three Quarter Birthday. One-third Birthday. Two-thirds Birthday. Birthday. That covers 6 months of the year.
Want more? Add in One-sixth and Five-sixths. That only leaves out months one, five, seven, and eleven, which you can then cover by doing twelfths, if you really want.
Happy Half-Birthday to you, Happy Half-Birthday to you
Happy Half-Birthday Dear Jennie, Happy Half-Birthday to YOOOOUUU!
