well after all my worries - and yes her ankles still roll in and I am concerned. She spent the better part of an hour walking between dh and I without any support. We stood her and planted her (iykwim) and she then walked between us. About 5 or so steps each way. She does however prefer to lunge and dh and try headbutt him - BUT I don't care she felt secure enough to walk without holding on to anything.......
