Baby tony's first birthday.
3 day old Baby Tony on St. Patrick's Day 2018
Dang. This poor, neglected blog. Who knew that adding a third kiddo to the mix, would leave this space... Well, pretty much abandoned?!
Yikes.
Our third (and last!) baby turned one last week, and I'm still trying to figure out where the last year went. Baby Tony (Anthony Wallace Saigh) is the surprise we never knew our family needed, and now we can't imagine our lives without our rolly-polly, always smiling ray of sunshine!
We celebrated our baby boy with family and neighbors at our home this past weekend. Tony got to devour his first birthday cake, and open some pretty fantastic gifts from the wonderful people in our lives.
Baby Tony, you are honestly the happiest and most chill baby EVER! You're sleeping 12-13 hours at night (usually 6 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.), you nap like a champ, you eat what we eat, and you're always perfectly content discovering new things on your own, or with the help of your big brother and sister. You love giving kisses, and handing people toys so you can hear the words "thank you". You make my heart melt when I see your little face and entire body light up with excitement when you see your siblings enter the room. The love you three have for one another is so beautiful.
Your Mama is going to try her best to establish your presence a little more on this blog, as you continue to grow. We are SO in love with and proud of you. Happy first birthday, little man!
Baby Tony: March 14th, 2019.
Mama Saigh and Baby Tony.
Party time!

Big Sister Linna and Big Brother Jimmy helping their little brother eat his birthday cake.
New wheels.
After 5 long winter months, the 34-degree temp on Baby Tony's birthday felt tropical!
Portugal is the Biggest Racist country that i have ever lived in. I feared for my life there and i consider myself lucky that my family got out alive! I have never lived in such poverty (Sopas dos Pobres everyday) 40% unemployment rate and 60% of the population earn less than $932 USD per month, and that's considered Middle Class here! Within the European Union it is the worst of the worst place to live.
The bottom line is the bulk of the People in our poor country exist in a brainless comma that is fed by Ignorance, anti-Spanish hate, and severe Racism of pretty much everybody that isn't Portuguese! And, Portugal started the Global Slave Trade in 1441 so it is definitely NOT a safe place for Blacks!!
I found important websites that explain the Severe multi-generational Racism and Hate that exist in Portugal today, and i highly encourage all to read them and spread the word in order to avoid innocent, and desperate people from living or visiting there. Get educated on the Truths about Racist Portugal now.
Please do not patronize these racist/xenophobes by going on trips to visit portugal, don't go to portuguese stores or restaurants, don't spend any money buying their food in stores, or wines, clothing etc. As a community we have to Unite and BUY American and not spend a single penny buying ANYTHING from these racist and xenophobic portuguese.
so adorable!, i really enjoyed reading your post, looking forward for your next post. thanks! :)
