'She looks just like my Gigi with her daddy’s eyes': Vanessa Bryant shares tear-jerking video of her seven-month-old daughter Capri learning to stand on her own - two weeks after Kobe's death
Two weeks ago, Vanessa Bryant lived through the nightmares of many, when she lost her husband Kobe Bryant, as well as her 13-year-old daughter Gianna, in a helicopter crash that killed a total of nine people.
In a rare break from grief, Vanessa took to her Instagram on Saturday morning to share her and Bryant's youngest daughter, seven-month-old Capri, attempting to stand on her own for the first time.
Kobe's sister Sharia Washington can be seen providing support to Capri throughout the emotional 30-second clip.

In the intimate clip, Vanessa cheered on her infant daughter as her tiny legs tried with all their might to stand upright.
'Woo! Good job, Koko...tried it again, mama,' coaxed Bryant.
With a wide grin across her face, Capri successfully stood almost entirely on her own.
'My Koko Bean. She looks just like my Gigi with her daddy’s eyes,' captioned Bryant whose comment section was flooded with support from her 11.3 million Instagram followers.

Vanessa and Kobe welcomed Capri into the world in June of 2019.
Capri is the couple's fourth daughter. They also share Natalia, 21, Bianka, 3, and the late Gianna 'Gigi' Bryant who, sadly, passed away at the age of thirteen alongside her father during the tragic crash on January 25th.
The other people who lost their lives that day were pilot Ara Zobayan, baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Keri, their daughter Alyssa, mother and daughter Sarah and Payton Chester and Mamba Academy basketball coach Christina Mauser.
On Friday, Bryant used her Instagram for a more somber purpose, as she shared an invitation to a public memorial for her late husband Kobe and daughter Gianna.

Memorial: On Friday, Bryant used her Instagram for a more somber purpose, as she shared an invitation to a public memorial for her late husband Kobe and daughter Gianna
The image included 24 butterflies in purple and yellow, which are the colors of the Lakers, the basketball team Kobe played with for 20 years.
The event, which will take place February 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, was already announce the day before.
The date was a conscious choice, as two was Gianna's jersey number, 24 was Kobe's and 20 is the amount of years he was a Laker.
To pay further tribute to the sports legend's number, the invitation is also printed with 24 butterflies.
Thoughtful details: The date of the memorial was a conscious choice, as two was Gianna's jersey number, 24 was Kobe's and 20 is the amount of years he was a Laker; Vanessa Bryant shared this photo of the entire Bryant family on Instagram
Mourning: Fans honor Kobe Bryant outside of the Staples Center before the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers on January 31st
The event is scheduled for 10am, as the Clippers play the Memphis Grizzlies later that evening.
According to TMZ, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and coach Doc Rivers had to sign off, as they technically have the arena rented for the day.
But it was an easy decision, given the solidarity for Kobe and his family, as well as the significance of the date.
Space might be an issue, as the Staples Center holds 20,000, compared to the 80,000 capacity of the Coliseum, which was another choice.

Meaning: The Staples Center was deemed the perfect location, as it was where the NBA player spent a majority of his monumental career
When Michael Jackson and Nipsey Hussle's memorials were held at Staples, the surrounding blocks were closed off to anyone who didn't have a ticket.
But it seemed to be the most meaningful choice, as it's where Kobe played for the majority of his 20-year career with the Lakers.
The outside of the arena has served as somewhat of a makeshift memorial, where thousands of fans visited to pay their respects.

Vanessa has requested to receive some of the candles, basketballs, stuffed animals and other items left in tribute to Kobe and Gigi.
In addition to the upcoming memorial, the Lakers honored Bryant on their first game after his death in several ways.
The marquee outside the Staples Center read, 'Rest in peace Kobe and Gigi' when they played the Portland Trail Blazers last Friday.
