Baby turtle

The new excitement in our house - a baby turtle. Noah wanted to buy a turtle with his Christmas money . And this is 'Steve', named after the benefactor - a man who has supported my husband and his work .
So we had to come straight home from school and watch Steve for 10 minutes. I tried to get a better photo but Steve wouldn't stay still.
He is tiny. His shell is the same size as a marble.
He will grow to be the same size as my palm.
How will he fit in his shell then?..... ;-)
