1. You should have been present in the UK exactly 5 years ago on the date UKBA receives your application (not 5 years ago on the date you apply).
2. In such case, your wife cannot apply before 03-05-2012.
3. You may apply for registration of your child as a British citizen (under section 3(1)) at the same time as you apply for naturalisation.

Consider deferring your (and your child's) application until 03-05-12 if you wish to save money. At that time, make a joint (naturalisation) application along with your wife and also apply for child's registration at the same time.
