Setting,Props | Cedar Hall, Family Room: Focus: everyday feeding |
Actors,Aims | Peggy and Mom; Bob on camera. |
Episode A: [00:00:19.06] | Mom: Pears… and pineapple… comin’ … Whoop…. More. Here we go. More pears. Mom: Good? … Whoop [Strapped in an infant seat, in her sleeper, Peggy often takes a hand to mouth and the other to her feet]. |
Episode B: [00:01:20.17] | Bob: Hi, Peg. It’s just me comin’ back. Mom: I’m going to get your feet out of your mouth right now. Peggy: Oh. Mmm. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Mom: There you go…. Ready for more?…. More…. More pears. Bob: [as Peggy waves arms and flails with her feet] Is that a sign that she wants some more and is eager to get it? Or do you look at it that way? Mom: All that eager cackling? Bob: Yeah. I mean, is that what you think it means?… I mean, I don’t know…. Does that make sense to you, though? Mom: Yeah. |
Episode C: [00:02:49.27] | Mom: Because you put a foot in your mouth you, your feet bumps are soggy. Peggy: [NVVs (cheerful)] Mom: More? More pears? There we go. Mom: (instructing?) More. More pears. Bob: Just me coming back again, Peg. I bawled out your sister for making all that noise. |
Episode D: [00:03:28.13] | Mom: Ook…You gotta keep it in the mouth…. Once you spit it out… Bob: But does she look at you when she’s ready to have some more?… Because in between, after you feed her, it seems she looks over here because I’m doing something funny and I have all this- Mom: It seems that she is looking over you and then looking over here. And then she starts making these sounds’ say, Eh, eh, eh, eh, which means more. And I’m going to complain about the slow service in this establishment. Peggy: Hmm. Mom: [imitating] Hmm. Peggy: Hmm. Mom: When she does not want more then she doesn’t take her hand out of her mouth. Bob: No. Okay. Mom: If she’s wildly interested, she takes her hand out of her mouth after I withdraw the spoons. Bob: You mean you stuff the food in her mouth while she’s still got her hand there? Mom: No… |
Episode E: [00:05:13.10] | Mom: I can… she’s looking at… Here. She will sit there with her fingers in the mouth while I hold the spoon up. Then when I take it away, then she takes her fingers out and says, Okay, I’m ready now…. Mom: Also, she lets a fair amount of the spoon full dribble out of her mouth. That’s another sign she’s not really interested…. [Vocal but not verbal interchange with Peggy] |
Episode F: [00:06:01.16] | Bob: Well, do you pay any attention when she goes [Bronx cheer] during this feeding time? Mom: Yes, I try not to be putting food in her mouth or being in a position of having just put food in her mouth when she does that…. Otherwise, there’s a little shower of pears and pineapple. Miriam: Or whatever she’s eating. Mom: Or whatever she’s eating. Bob: That’s a good generalization, Miriam. |
Episode G: [00:06:40.11] | Mom: She’s grinding her teeth now…. Would you like some more? Bob: Are you looking at her in the mirror?…Because now, if you talk, I can see you better when you talk into the mirror because that comes up on the camera and so forth. Peggy: [turns her head towards the camera, away from food] Mom: [sounding mildly frustrated] Peggy!… What else are you hoping to see in that mirror, Peggy? Her thinking that she’s not fat? |
Episode H: [00:07:54.05] | Bob: Is she trying to use her hand there?… You said before that she’s been trying to grab a hold of the spoon ever since you started feeding her this time. Mom: Yeah, not all the time. She usually grabs for the spoon…. I don’t think she realized yet, but she doesn’t have to… I don’t know… dislocate her jaw and grate her teeth. Bob: Oh, you mean when she had only three teeth, she had to run her jaw sideways. Mom: She’s still shifting the lower jaw so that the two teeth are below the original top tooth…. I (don’t?) know, maybe the fourth one hasn’t come in far enough. |
Episode I: [00:08:58.28] | Bob: You want to get back in the picture, Miriam? Is that what you’re doing?… Or you can if you want…. Why don’t you go over and sit next to Peggy? Mom: [feeding Peggy sounds] More pear? Miriam: [making faces at the camera] Bob: Come on, we got enough “faces” from you during that project at Logo, sweetie. |

Summary by AI |
Peggy is in an infant seat being fed pears and pineapple. Mom narrates/feeds; Bob films and asks questions; Miriam occasionally comments. Peggy shows eagerness by vocalizing, waving arms/feet, and making “eh, eh” sounds for “more.” Mom notes cues: if Peggy keeps her hand in her mouth or lets food dribble, she’s less interested. Peggy often puts her feet/hands in her mouth; Mom adjusts to keep food in and hands out. Care is taken to avoid feeding during Peggy’s “Bronx cheer” to prevent a “shower” of food. Peggy frequently tries to grab the spoon; Mom manages timing—Peg removes fingers when ready. Distraction: a mirror and the camera draw Peggy’s gaze away from eating; Mom expresses mild frustration. Teething/jaw: discussion of Peggy grinding teeth and shifting her lower jaw as new teeth come in. Family dynamic: casual, humorous banter (e.g., “slow service,” Logo project) amid attentive feeding. |
Narrative by AI |
In a quiet home setting, a baby named Peggy sits strapped into an infant seat, wearing a sleeper, as a caregiver offers spoonfuls of pears and pineapple. The scene unfolds with small, familiar rhythms: a soft “whoop,” a prompt of “more pears,” and Peggy’s own vocalizations—ohs, hums, and cheerful noises—that punctuate the exchange. Her hands occupy her attention almost as much as the food does: one often drifts to her mouth, the other to her feet, which sometimes end up damp from exploratory chewing. Two adults, Mom and Bob, narrate and interpret Peggy’s signals as they go. Bob wonders whether Peggy’s arm waving and foot flailing mean she’s eager for another bite. Mom agrees that the combination of sounds and movements can signal interest, but she also notes practical cues: when Peggy keeps her fingers in her mouth, she may not want more; when she removes them as the spoon withdraws, she’s ready. Dribbling food back out is another sign of waning enthusiasm, while the infamous “Bronx cheer” is carefully timed around spoonfuls to avoid a sticky “shower of pears and pineapple.” Attention is a tug-of-war. The presence of a mirror and a camera draws Peggy’s gaze away from the spoon at moments, prompting gentle redirection. The adults adapt, shifting angles and remarks to guide focus back to the feeding. Alongside the playfulness—imitated hums, soft commentary, and sisterly cameos—there’s a practical choreography: waiting for cues, timing the next spoonful, and keeping the process comfortable. Motor curiosity plays a central role. Peggy often reaches for the spoon, experimenting with control and coordination. Mom observes patterns in Peggy’s jaw movements and teeth, noting how new teeth change the way she moves her mouth to manage texture. These small biomechanical adjustments sit alongside the social back-and-forth: a shared understanding built from repeated feedings, where gestures, sounds, and timing are interpreted in real time. Altogether, the scene is an everyday study in communication between caregiver and infant. It shows how feeding is more than nutrition—it’s interaction and learning, where subtle signs guide the pace and amount, and where humor and patience help navigate spills, distractions, and shifting interest. The result is a portrait of attunement: adults reading a baby’s cues, a baby exploring her world, and a meal that becomes a conversation without many words. |
