I think once you provide an address, all they will do is send your card to that address. As long as you have someone trustworthy to collect and keep for you, both of you can come back, really.

"The Permanent Resident Card
If you intend to travel, the Permanent Resident Card is the official proof of your status as a permanent resident in Canada.
This wallet-sized plastic card is required for all permanent residents of Canada seeking to re-enter Canada on a commercial carrier (airplane, boat, train or bus).
If you leave the country, you will need this card to return to Canada. If you do not plan to leave the country, you do not need the card."

Congrats, all is well that ends well. Have you bought the tickets already? You may consider Lufthansa for short wait time at Frankfurt otherwise you will be in Amsterdam or CDG for 6-7 hrs to connect your flight.
Don't forget about the winter clothing too, it's impt especially for your baby. You should also google "traveling with infants" to learn what you need to do. Please take care of your baby very well.
Ask the IO that will process you landing to check the pictures on the COPR for correctness.
By the way, you don't need to stay back to collect the PR cards if you have a trustworthy person to forward it to you. I had to return immediately with my family so I could resume work and also allow the kids resume school ASAP. But I got the SIN cards in the mail before we left Canada.
You may wait for the card and not get it on time; you or your wife may be asked to go to their nearest office to take the picture again (happened to a colleague late last year). Best bet is to make your plans without bothering about the PR cards except you have no choice.
You will need 3 documents to apply for OHIP (if you are staying in Ontario), you already have 2 but will require proof of Ontario residency. It's good to apply for OHIP if you can otherwise you will cough out more then $CAD 500 for private insurance while waiting (pls don't gamble on health). The way out for the proof of residency is to get a temporary or permanent driver's license - make sure you go with your naija license (incl your wife - every man for himself) and a letter from FRSC (if you can) detailing your driving experience (especially highway) and duration; do the G1 test ASAP (don't skip this except if you are familiar with N American road signs. Passing the G1 will get you the temporary license. You will need the driver's study guide (it is shorter than the driver handbook itself and easier to work with).
You can skip the above if you wont be applying for OHIP now.
This is all I can remember for now but hope you find it useful.
All the best.
soj,
Just remembered that you should get a carrier/stroller for your baby while traveling so you don't put too much pressure on your wife especially while transiting; except you are carrying the baby all through.
Also, make sure you get a car seat for your baby when you land (your host can bring one) otherwise you have to hide her at the back of the car so you don't get fined.
Hope your host is a good buddy?
