Default Extracanonical nativity narratives - where are they?

Hi, all. Quick question:

I know there's a tale in the Infancy Gospel of James. Are there any other ancient nativity narratives besides James, Matthew and Luke?

Thanks!

There is an Infancy Gospel of Thomas as well.

These are the two biggies (Infancy Matthew and Infancy Thomas) in this kind of research.

Ah, I did not know about Pseudo-Matthew (AKA Infancy Matthew). However, I can't find any nativity narrative in Infancy Thomas, but just anecdotes about Jesus' adolescence.
