DBInf04 learning tool use?

Is it just me, or is this infant (currently DBInf04) already mimicking its mother's hammering motions? It's a bit fidgety in general, but particularly around :02 to :05 seconds, maybe up to :09 seconds, you can see its attention is clearly on where the mother is using the rock, and I could swear his/her left arm is imitating the movements. The mother has paused to eat and readjust the fruit/nut (not sure what that is), and it reminds me of a human baby or toddler when they mimic an action they see, or want to see, their parent do. This one is just so young, I didn't expect it and I thought I might be projecting. Thoughts?
