Me (Becky)
I'm 26 years old, married 4 years to my childhood sweetheart, and the proud mom of 2 little boys. We share our home in Upstate NY (near the Adirondacks) with our dog and our cat.
I stay home and take care of the creatures while the house suffers neglect, but the kids are only kids for so long, the house can wait until Hubby comes home from work. I used to have dreams of domestic grandeur, I would be the best wife and mother ever, I would cook, clean, and bake every day, and I would be the best mom ever, I would make my own baby food, cloth diaper, and babywear. Alas reality stepped in and I found out that while I love my husband and kids with abandon, I'm a terrible cook, I make a huge mess when I bake, baby food was rejected, and I hate laundry as much as I love my family. One thing remained though, I stuck with and succeeded at one thing I had always dreamed of doing, I stand here victorious in front of you as a real life babywearer and that ladies (and gentlemen) is why we are here.

Little Dude (LD)
LDs 2nd birthday is in May but if you ask him he will be turning "thee" He is certainly a little dude at just 25 pounds but the mama isn't complaining that just means I can wear him even longer. He is very active and very verbal. His major accomplishments to date are learning to walk at 8 months old and becoming a big brother at 20 months.
LD's first carrier was *gasp* a baby bjorn, but that lasted all of a few weeks before we got the Moby. From there he moved into an Ergo at 3 months and he got his first woven wrap (a barabarn knot shawl) at 7 months. He usually rocks rucks but he also enjoys front cross carry when he needs some snuggles.
Sleepy Guy (SG)
SG was born at the End of January. He is squishy and wonderful. He likes his booby milk and his sleep. He's fairly new to the family so we continue to get to know him.
SG has been wrapped since day 3, his favorite carries are front wrap cross carry and newborn ruck. He also enjoys ringslings and is really hoping for a kinderpack for mommy's birthday.
