Just wait, it gets much, much worse.
To me, months only seem to take about a week and a half any more.
Edited to add: I'm must be getting old, I forgot my original intent.

I think it’s an anticipation thing. When we are 7 and turning 8, we have a party with friends, it might be at a special thing like a bowling ally or chucky cheese. There are lots of presents and you are king for the day. It’s a major event in your life so you look forward to it for months and it takes forever to come.
25 turning 26. Um. I still have to go to work. I get Happy Birthdays from people. I get taken to lunch by co-workers. I get a few cards and maybe a small gift or two from closer friends. I get a present from my parents. I get a present and some extra loving from the girlfriend.
It is a nicer than normal day, but hardly a huge event in life. So the anticipation is not near as big, and so we don’t count the days, so life still moves on as fast as “normal”. And each birthday after 21 gets faster and faster because there is less and less anticipation, if not a trend towards dread, and when you start dreading your birthdays they come even faster.
