Vanessa Bryant is showing off just what a wonderful family she has around her.
On Saturday afternoon, the 38-year-old proud momma showed off an adorable new pic of 10-month-old daughter Capri, who she shares with the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant. In the pic, Vanessa can be seen giving the not-yet-1-year-old girl a kiss on the cheek as she looks at her surroundings.

“I love you Koko Bean,” Vanessa captioned the pic, a nickname that’s a direct reference to her husband’s “Bean” middle name moniker first made legendary back in his basketball-playing days. As you can see (below), Capri is turning into quite the cute kid herself:

Awwww!!!!
Celebs like Tia Mowry and WNBA star athlete Candace Parker commented on the photo, marveling at how pretty little Capri is becoming as she grows up.

Along with that adorable picture, Vanessa also shared a personally meaningful one, too — of Kobe’s book Epoca the Tree of Ecrof: Island of the Gods. In the book, a young adult piece created by the former Los Angeles Lakers star and written by Ivy Claire, Kobe wrote a special inscription for Vanessa (below):
“For Vanessa. Thank you for always being the realist to my Dreamer.”
So sweet…
As you can see (below), it’s still something that’s very close on Vanessa’s mind after this weekend’s public post here:

Wow. So many memories.
Our hearts continue to go out to Vanessa and the Bryant family as they grapple with the loss of Kobe and daughter Gianna following that awful January helicopter crash in the Calabasas area.
Sending so much love and light!
