| Episode A:[00:00:09.17] | Mom: There we go…. Like that? [gives Peggy a zwieback biscuit] Peggy: NVV [agreeable tone] Mom: yeah… Is that how you bite your (unclear bi-syllable), get them smeared all over. See that’s probably a mistake on my part, to give ’em to you…. Mom: let me see. You seem quiet this morning, Peggy. Peggy: [discards the zwieback] |
| Episode B:[00:01:08.26] | Mom: [offering a soft teething ring] How about this? That won’t be so soggy. No? Yes? Maybe? Peggy: [takes, mouths the teething ring] Mom: You have a little trouble there, getting everything into your… mouth. Peggy: NVV Mom: Now, you’re ??-ing out too. Yikes [as Peggy leans far over]. Come on. |
| Episode C:[00:01:40.08] | Peggy: [begins to cry] Mom: What happened?… What happened? Peggy: [looks down at teething ring, mouths it, takes it in hand]… [slowly turns, sees her image in the mirror] Mom: What’s that? Who’s over there? No, do you want to have a look? [holds her up to see better] No?… [holds her still to look and see] Peggy: [smiles at the mirror image] Mom: It’s Peggy. [she drops the teething ring] Where’d it go? [retrieves the ring, tucks it in her lap] |
| Episode D:[00:02:27.20] | Mom: [to Bob] Can you see what she’s doing? Bob: [off screen] No. Mom: She is investigating the arm of the chair and pulling herself over to get it to her mouth. [lifts Peggy, rotates her to face the camera, re-seats her in lap] [reaching for the zwieback sitting on chair arm, knocks it off] Bob: Think she’s after that teething biscuit again? Or is she… Mom: No, I think she was there investigating the arm of the chair again…. Now what?… She’s looking off in the core of the room, and I can never figure out what she’s looking at. Mom: Whoa, [lifts and re-seats Peggy]… Whoa. There you go. [raising Peggy to stand on her knees, singing melody of Pop Goes the Weasel, with final lift] There you go. Mom: [holding, offering the teething ring] Boy, have you got that slimy. [pulls Mom’s hand and finger to her mouth] You want to get my finger? Peggy: [vigorous NVV] Mom: What? You want to get my finger, huh?…[“makes a face” and lets finger go] Mom: What’s the matter? Doesn’t it taste good this morning?… [wipes Peggy’s hand dry] There we go. |
| Episode E:[00:04:17.01] | Mom: [Stands her up in lap] What should we do, Peggy? You don’t look much inclined to do anything. [lays her on shoulder] You need me to hug a baby today? Bob: She keeps looking at the chair arm. Why don’t you sit her down there and see what she does? Mom: I thought at that point she was looking at the teething ring, which is right down here. Bob: Well, maybe she is. Let’s see…. Well, surely she picked it up. Peggy: [mouths the teething ring, intermittently removing it, then drops for fingers] Mom: Yeah, hand and (unclear). She had it so that the way she was grasping it, she was getting the smooth portion of the ring in her mouth….She didn’t seem to find that too exciting…. Is that right, Peggy? |
| Episode F:[00:05:27.24] | Mom: Is that right?…[lays Peggy on her back and raises her shirt] See… What happens if I do this?

[then dries Peggy’s hands] Peggy: NVV. [turns head left and reaches out to chair arm] Mom: Are you still look at those chairs? Peggy [grasps the chair arm end at least four times, feeling it] |
| Episode G:[00:06:06.12] | Mom: There you go, get this out of the way. [patting Peggy’s soles several times] Your feet…. Your feet. Mom: [takes Peggy’s hands in hers] How are you going to sit with me? [lifting slowly] Up. Up, up, up, up. Peggy: [brings her head down on Mom’s hand, finger in her mouth and bites] Why? Ouch. Mom: Yeah, that was your tooth. You bit me. You actually bit me…. How are you sitting up by yourself here?… not bad… Except if you don’t know enough to sit up straight, we’re not going to lean over. Peggy: [as she leans over, Mom speaks for her: “I’m trying to chew on that. I’m trying to chew on the arm of the chair again.”] |
| Episode H:[00:07:46.24] | Peggy: [starts to pick at, pull at Mom’s watch-band] Mom: That’s my watch. We can have a nice game of pulling it out and letting it snap back. See?… See my watch?… It’s not to put in the mouth. It won’t work if you put it in your mouth. Mom: [notes Peggy saw her mirror image] You seem to be well-fascinated by that face in the mirror. [and as Peggy turns away from mirror] You also seem to be easily distracted. Oh. Yes, that’s Peggy…. That’s my finger, Yike. Peggy: NVV (a small, quiet sound) Nyet?… Mom: Are you do any talking today Peggy? Or maybe some… How about a few… close labial fricatives. I’m sure you could do so much better than I can. Now you’re interested? Mom: Here, [lifting, turning her around] take a little eyeball to eyeball to encourage you to say something. Peggy: [small choking sound] NVV (~ “oo oo, ee ee” ) [starts rubbing her eyes] [large exhale] Mom: Are you tired? You just got up. |

Hello? Peggy: [turns back part-way towards mirror] Mom: Turning a little beauty-queen, watching yourself in the mirror all the time. Peggy: No. ( or NVV) Mom: No? … Good… Peggy: NVV (extended) Mom: [imitating Peggy’s NVV] |
| Episode J:[00:11:37.10] | [00:11:37.10] Mom: That was Robby’s favorite sucking position, two middle fingers. You seem to go for just about everything. Right?… Any finger will do. Peggy: NVV (or ~”ma”, /mae/) Mom: (imitating? ~”ha”, /hae/) Mom: [quiet singing, bouncing quiet Peggy on her knees] Bob: Hi, Peggy. Can you see me again? Huh? Huh? Mom: Now he’s behind you again. Bob: Well, undoubtedly she’s more interested in her. Well, maybe not. Who knows? Mom: Well. Bob: But let’s… What do you say we stop at this point and get that mirror out of the way so it doesn’t fall over. Peggy: NVV Mom: You’re in a nice Bronx cheer…. Peggy: NVV Mom: You’re going to give another one? Peggy: NVV |

| Summary by AI |
Mom gives Peggy a zwieback biscuit; Peggy briefly engages, then discards it due to mess/sogginess. A soft teething ring is offered; Peggy mouths it, struggles with coordination, and alternates between it and her fingers. Peggy becomes upset momentarily, then is captivated by her reflection in a mirror, smiling and repeatedly looking back. She persistently explores the chair arm by touch and mouth, showing curiosity and problem-solving to reach it. Mom repositions Peggy multiple times (including brief supported standing to “Pop Goes the Weasel”) and notes Peggy’s quiet mood. Peggy pulls Mom’s hand to her mouth, bites a finger (Mom notes feeling a tooth), and later plays with Mom’s watch band. Mom wipes Peggy’s hands and mouth, tickles her belly, and comments on Peggy’s teething-related preferences (smooth vs textured surfaces). There’s ongoing vocal play: Peggy makes varied NVVs (“kwa,” “ma”), Mom imitates and prompts “labial fricatives,” and they exchange sounds. Peggy shows signs of distraction and possible fatigue (eye rubbing, big exhale) while intermittently engaging with Dad Bob off camera. Session ends with concern about the mirror’s stability; Peggy produces “Bronx cheer” sounds as the interaction winds down. |
| Narrative by AI |
A quiet morning unfolds as a mother and her infant, Peggy, settle into a gentle routine of play and exploration. The scene opens with a zwieback biscuit—offered, tested, and soon discarded in favor of a softer teething ring. Peggy alternates between mouthing objects and examining them in her hands, shifting her attention with the wandering focus typical of early infancy. Her mother narrates these small experiments with calm good humor, noting how soggy the ring becomes and how Peggy seems quieter than usual. A mirror nearby becomes an unexpected focal point. When Peggy catches sight of her reflection, she smiles, intrigued by the face looking back at her. The adults—Mom and Bob—observe, comment, and adjust the setup so she can study the image more easily. In between, Peggy returns to tactile exploration: the arm of the chair, the feel of different surfaces, and the tempting pull of a watch band. Her mother gently guides her away from putting everything in her mouth, highlighting both safety and curiosity in equal measure. Movement and posture are part of the morning’s practice. Peggy is lifted, turned, seated, and briefly stood on her caregiver’s lap, with a light sing-song of Pop Goes the Weasel punctuating the transitions. She tries sitting up, leans, and reaches—particularly for the chair arm she’s intent on investigating. In one moment, she bites down on her mother’s finger, revealing a small tooth and eliciting a surprised “ouch,” an everyday milestone folded into the flow of interaction. Vocal play threads through the session. Peggy produces soft, varied sounds—coos, squeaks, and what her mother jokingly frames as “close labial fricatives.” Imitation flows both ways, with Mom echoing Peggy’s noises and Peggy responding in turn, sometimes as if on the edge of words. There are signs of tiredness, brief cries, and quiet contentment, all gently acknowledged. A “Bronx cheer” earns a chuckle. The exchanges are unhurried, the tone observational and supportive. By the end, the adults decide to move the mirror for safety, while Peggy keeps shifting attention between people and objects. The morning captures a familiar blend of sensory exploration, early self-recognition, and playful communication. It’s a snapshot of development in motion: touch, taste, sound, and sight woven into simple routines that help a baby learn how her body works, how objects feel, and how voices around her invite her to join the conversation. |
