You've been posting for over a month now, I've offered alternate options to you which were cheaper, and you chose to ignore them.
What more do you want? A miracle fare sale during the busiest travel time of the year? Things are only going to get worse -- not better.
Either book now, or don't complain when fares go up again.
As of now, if you connect, using US Air, looks like you can save $300......Connect on CO/UA and save $100. Otherwise pay your 1100 and be done with it.
IIRC: lap children on international flights usually have to pay 10% of the adult fare plus tax (they do not get to fly free as with domestic flights - every intl pax has to have a ticket even if no actual seat so that govt fees/taxes can be charged). So, if you take the B-fare upgrade, be sure the child is on your wifes ticket and not yours.....
