Many people have asked me many questions about the Swiss, but the main one is 'How do Swiss develop' How do you know which baby Swiss are going to make good adult swiss' . To be honest I am not sure yet, there seems no firm pattern but I decided to keep an online diary on how some of my babies develop by photographing them at regular intervals
