She walks.
The baby has taken her first, tentative steps. She is so proud of herself. It's a delightful process to watch--and we're savoring it, since running is never very far behind. And there's never any time to savor that. (For anyone keeping track, she's our second fastest walker. Brigham has her beat by one day.)

Relief Society Lesson
I taught a Relief Society lesson on Sunday. I completely biffed it. The topic was 'Jesus Christ: the Savior of the World," with two talks from April General Conference as reference (one by President Uchtdorf and one by Elder Oaks.
I hmmed and hawed, I froze up, I got sidetracked and stuck on a peripheral point. At one point, I even developed tunnel vision, when everything outside of a small round area turned dark and fuzzy. I didn't tell one personal story or make anyone laugh. It was double-ungood.
This is the point I meant to make: That we do our part by serving each other with compassion and with joy. We can know that the Savior will do his part: that he knows us, loves us, and will intervene in our lives and the lives of our loved ones, that he will truly save us. The atonement is real.
Simple, right?
