As mentioned in the October Acquisition thread I got the Transformers Animated Collection book... for my daughter.
It's one of those books entirely printed on thick cardboard pages (similar to other books for infants like the Hungry Caterpillar) which not only makes it easier for infants with more limited dexterity to turn the pages, but also lets them do so without wrinkling or tearing the book apart. My daughter's already torn one of my comic books apart (don't worry, it wasn't a TF comic). I know those of you with older children and are old hats at the parenting game must be thinking, "well duh," but I thought I'd share this with my fellow parenting noobs.
That and I just wanted an excuse to talk about this book. Heh. It's basically a big advert for the toys - there's pics of each figure with a profile explaining who they are etc. Of course, I have every mould in the book 'cept Blackout. The book isn't persuading me to rush out and buy him... yet.

I recommend getting that sorted if you haven't already... it's amazing how much you can argue over a kid's name! Especially for us because we wanted to choose a single name that was trilingually compatible - and of course, we had to choose a boy and girl's name! 
Before we did this I used to wonder why some Asian parents choose completely different Anglophone and Asian names for their kids, and I thought that it was cool how some parents chose ones that were compatible across languages -- like one of my students, her name is technically Korean, but it's spelt and pronounced the same as an Anglophone name too; although I think it was a happy coincidence, don't think her parents had that in mind when they chose the name. But now I understand why most don't bother doing it -- it's a pain the bum!!
