Charlie is growing so much! He’s full energy and personality – definitely not a baby anymore. He and the cat are the same size now, though Charlie weighs about half as much – Eli is all muscle and Charlie is all head and stick legs.

The big news is that he and the cat are officially friends. Eli will initiate contact now, and rub his body along Charlie the way cats do. Charlie is thrilled. Eli is still the big brother, though, and has no reservations about giving Charlie a whack in the head if he feels like it, and Charlie goes and sits two feet away waiting to be accepted again.
