No, Cindy, the Canon 50D is not suitable for you. No dSLR camera is suitable for you. They are too big, too heavy, too complicated and too expensive for a young mother with a baby and a little kid. You have enough to schlepp around. So you had better get a Canon Powershot SD1100 IS (IXUS 80 IS in Europe), or a similar camera. That one is small enough, and light weight enough to always carry in your purse, and you can take excellent pictures with it.

Have fun!
