The chart is all lined up and looking good now.

That's really good consistent growth for his first year. Nice job!

guess i should have put his age. i was told he was 5 months old when i got him on the first of january, 2012. 2 inches seemed awful small to me for him to be 5 months already, but don't know for sure. thanks a lot for the comments. i really like my louis. after nursing him for 2 months with those bladder stones, i've gotten very attached to him. miss him when i'm at work. never thought i'd say that about a tortoise, but i do. my leopard is sweet and i love him too, but am way more bonded with my sulcata since he was sick.
