Introducing the Elliot Weir Photo Blog

Hi everyone, welcome to the official Elliot Weir blog, where we hope to provide an ongoing chronicle of our little Weirling's journey from infant to Future World Leader, or International Pop Sensation, or Revolutionary Political Economist, or whatever he prefers we suppose...

Like any doting parents with a digital camera and internet account, we'll be throwing an endless barrage of photos to this page. The upshot is that you won't be subjected to countless emails with 3MB attachments. You're welcome!

We'll begin with an account of the most recent events, from hospital to home. More soon!
