Cecilia and her family

Ditty and Cecilia (GAP)
 
Ditty and Cecilia (GAP)

Cecilia, daughter of Gilberto and Ditty, is three months old. But compared with a chimpanzee living in his habitat, she is already beginning to be civilized, and is learning fast. Usually the mother carries her baby on the chest until the baby complete six months, and then the baby goes to the back. Cecilia anticipated this practice in three months and is already at her mother\\\'s back.

The mother also does not use to let anyone mess with the baby for almost a year. Here, too, the situation changed. Her brothers Pedrinho (five years old) and Luisa (10) already carry Cecilia from one place to another, easing the work of the mother. When Cecilia cries, her mother acts and asks to have her back.
