Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a video of her youngest daughter, 7-month-old Capri, learning to stand up on her feet.
Millions of Vanessa Bryant’s Instagram fans have been gushing over the adorable infant since the video was posted.
The video shows little Capri struggling cheerfully to get up on her feet, with a little help from Vanessa’s sister, Sharia Washington, according to TMZ.
Little Capri attempts her latest trick multiple times and each time she succeeds, she looks over her shoulder at the camera with a disarming smile on her pretty little face. The radiant joy on the little girl’s face shows she is proud of her achievement.
Vanessa captions the incredibly cute video with a reference to “Gigi,” the nickname of Capri’s 13-year-old big sister, Gianna, who died with her father, Kobe, in a helicopter crash on Sunday, January 26, 2020.
“My Koko Bean. She looks just like my Gigi with her daddy’s eyes. ☀️❤️auntie Ri-Ri. #7months.”
Capri Bryant’s adorable video goes viral
The video has received more than 6.1 million views since it was uploaded to Instagram earlier today.
Vanessa is the person behind the camera and viewers can hear her cheering her baby on to accomplish her latest amazing feat.
“Good job, Koko, good job. Good girl, Mamacita. Wanna do it again?” Vanessa says.
Capri giggles excitedly the first time she gets on her feet. She looks at her mom behind the camera for encouragement.
Capri is so eager to prove that her first success was not a fluke. She powers up so forcefully the second time that Sharia loses her grip momentarily. But all is well at last as Capri stands on her feet a second time. She looks at her mom behind the camera and giggles excitedly in celebration.
Fans were happy to see the family recovering after the tragedy. Capri has two other older sisters, 17-year-old Natalia (born January 200) and three-year-old Bianka (born December 2016).
