Tino alerted me as soon as Olivia had taken off. I decided it was time to step back a little. So long as she had Dom and Tino by her side, she wouldn’t be in danger, at least for now.
I relieved Dahlia of babysitting duties, heading to the living room to wait for my wife. Elio was more than happy to spend time with me as we waited.
I felt terrible for missing Elios' first step and for making Olivia miss it too. Luckily though, now that Elio had gained his balance, he wanted to walk all the time. I hovered just behind him as he toddled around, often falling, but he never cried and only picked himself up like we had taught him to do.
Eventually, he got too sleepy to stay awake and I laid him down for a nap in his crib, turning on the baby monitor once he was asleep and heading back to the living room to clean up the mess.
