| Actions: | Transcribed as Text Episodes |
| Episode A: at 00:04 |
Peggy: [drops the roller and it rolls away from her]… she follows, grasping the axle and taking the stick end to her mouth]. [Looking back to the cameraman, and further, she tries mouthing one disk, then examines the axle end, eventually returning to her prone crawling/position.] [Turning first left, cluttered with lamp and cord, she rotates right while mouthing and handling the roller.] [Hurt by a roller-slip, she lets go; it rolls a bit. mouthing a disk, Peggy turns away from the wire and drops the roller. It rolls away] Possible verbal vocalizations, ~=”back”, (4), as she crawls after it. |
| Episode B: at 01:12 |
Turning aside, she crosses several feet to the mid-size cup. [after mouthing and casting aside the cup, Peggy crawls to the nearby starred ball. She appears to try biting it, then spins it away to the play area exit. [as Peggy crawls to and handles the ball at the exit, Bob asks Mom for help] Bob: Gretchen, can you get that ball and bring it back here?… Just roll it over in the middle away from her. Peggy: [watches the ball roll past, impact the roller, and both roll away] NVV. [she appears undecided what to do next.] |
| Episode C: at 02:31 |
[she looks around, up at the camera man, across the floor, then crawls to the starred ball; this appears difficult now.] Bob: Poor baby, she’s got the hiccups. [difficulty explained?] … [As she gets the ball] There you go. Miriam: Mom, can we get Scurry and go down now? (last phrase uncertain) Bob: Absolutely not, Miriam. Go away. Peggy: [mouths ball, then handles it as if intending to make it roll. It does roll away.] Bob: I’ll get it back for you, Peg…. Here it comes…. Here it comes. [the ball passed by fast and strikes the roller. Both stop, feet away] |
| Episode D: at 03:57 |
Peggy: [rotates and crawls toward the video equipment] Bob: Hold it. I think we’ll have to stop here. She’s making for the TV, it appears. Mom: Looks like it. Bob: Okay, see that little baby in there, Peggy? Is that the idea?… Hold it, Peg. Let’s stop right here. |
| Episode E: at 04:18 |
break [Mom returns Peggy to the center of the space] Peggy: [swinging the roller, knocks the ball out of the play area] Bob: Gretchen, will you roll the ball back to her? She just knocked it out so that… [Returned ball rolls past Peggy] Bob: Extraordinarily vigorous, Peggy, let me help out… [returns the ball to her] There you go…. Peggy: [brings the ball close, mouths it, handles it, rolls, propels it away]… [swings the roller and drops it] Bob: Ball’s stuck over there. She was still looking at it…. She just tried to throw the spindle… It didn’t roll. There it goes. Peggy: [whines, ~= seeks help; followed by a more positive NVV] |
| Episode F: at 05:43 |
Peggy: [begins crawling, but appears tired, close to the floor… she stops, then cries] Bob: What’s the matter, sweetie? [Peggy: more crying] Bob: Should we stop for a little while? Peggy: [more cries] I think we’d better. Okay. [End: 06:08] |

| AI Summary: | as Contents List – Peggy explores a roller toy, mouthing the axle and disks while crawling and rotating amid clutter. – A slip from the roller startles her; she vocalizes (possibly “back”) and crawls after the rolling toy. – She shifts attention to a mid-size cup, then a starred ball, attempting to bite and spin it away. – Bob asks Mom (Gretchen) to retrieve and roll the ball back; Peggy watches as ball and roller interact. – Crawling appears harder; Bob notes Peggy has hiccups as she manages to get the ball. – Miriam asks about leaving with “Scurry”; Bob firmly declines. – Peggy alternates between mouthing and rolling the ball; objects frequently roll away. – Peggy heads toward video/TV equipment; recording is paused and she’s returned to the play area center. – Vigorous play continues: she swings the roller, knocks the ball out, tries to throw the spindle; mixed vocalizations suggest seeking help. – Fatigue sets in; Peggy whines, crawls low, then cries, and Bob ends the session. |
| AI Narrative: | A short home video captures a lively scene of a baby, Peggy, exploring a small play area with a few simple objects: a roller with disks, a mid-size cup, and a starred ball. The session begins with Peggy dropping the roller and pursuing it, alternately mouthing the disk and examining the axle. She rotates and reorients herself frequently, negotiating a cluttered patch with a lamp and cord, and periodically lets objects roll away. Her actions suggest curiosity and trial-and-error exploration typical of early mobility and object play. As the roller slips from her grasp and the ball and roller knock into each other, the pace of the interaction picks up. Peggy turns away from a wire, vocalizes softly while crawling after runaway objects, and diverts to other items within reach. She briefly inspects the cup before rejecting it, then focuses on the starred ball—biting at it, spinning it, and sending it toward the edge of the play space. Family members step in lightly: Bob asks Gretchen (Mom) to roll the ball back to the center, while Peggy watches the ball pass and seems momentarily undecided before resuming her pursuit. Throughout, Peggy shows determination but also encounters small challenges. The ball’s quick movements make it hard to catch, and a bout of hiccups may add to her effort. Bob encourages her—“Here it comes”—as he returns the ball, and he monitors safety as Peggy veers toward the video equipment, prompting a brief pause and repositioning to the center. These interjections are minimal yet supportive, creating a setting where Peggy can act on her interests while caregivers manage boundaries. Once recentralized, Peggy resumes active play, swinging the roller and accidentally knocking the ball out of bounds. The ball is returned again, and she brings it close, mouths it, and propels it away with growing vigor. She experiments with throwing or rolling the spindle, showing how handling evolves from simple grasping to more purposeful attempts at action. Her vocalizations shift between seeking help and more contented sounds, reflecting alternating frustration and engagement. By the end, signs of fatigue appear. Peggy’s crawl slows, she lowers herself close to the floor, and her sounds turn to brief cries. The session ends gently, with a caregiver checking in and deciding to stop. The video offers a compact portrait of early motor exploration: objects rolling just out of reach, repeated attempts to grasp and control them, careful caregiver support, and the natural ebb and flow of a young child’s energy and focus. |
