At the moment you do not have enough evidence for any office, and certainly not enough for Nairobi.
1. The visa office will not accept a DVD as evidence. If there is some part that looks particularly romantic, get a screen shot of it. However, it is the DVD of your wedding, and your only photos are also of the wedding, so it won't help much. The visa officer will believe you are married; the question is, is it a genuine marriage?
2. Your wife came to visit you, so you have evidence of that trip: a visa and entry and exit stamps in her passport, her plane ticket, and her boarding passes - there and back.
3. She stayed in Kenya for December, January, and February. Did you have a honeymoon, ever stay at a hotel together, eat out at a restaurant together, go sightseeing together? Hotel and restaurant receipts, and any evidence of sightseeing, such as tickets, can be used as evidence. I realize you might not have kept such things, but check - you or your wife might have kept something, or you might be able to get copies of hotel receipts.
4. Your wife must have met your friends and other relatives when she was with you in Kenya. Get affidavits from these people, stating how they know you, when they met your wife, what they did together with the two of you during her trip there, and that they think your relationship is genuine because ... Affidavits are the best, but letters or emails saying the same thing are also good.
5. Start getting proof right now that you are communicating with her. Have her call you using a land line or cell phone that will produce a monthly bill with your phone number on it. If you will only use phone cards, at least keep them all, photocopy, and include in the application with an explanation you use cards becausr they are so much cheaper. Still, they are usually not considered useful evidence. If you use Skype or some instant messenging service, a log of your calls can be made and printed out. Start emailing and keep them. If you don't have easy access to a computer, the price of going to an internet cafe once a week is worth it for the evidence it can give you. Write letters to each other - talk about the baby and how much you miss your wife. Send cards, gifts; your wife can also send you mooney, if possible.
6. The Nairobi office takes on average 18 months to 26 months to process a spousal application, so your wife should try to visit you a least once more. As often as possible would be the best.
7. You have so little evidence right now that I would suggest, if you make your application now, that you collect evidence of contact after the application and send it in to be added to the application in about a year. Then continue to collect evidence of contact and show it to the visa officer at your interview. Usually they don't like people to send extra evidence in after the application is received, and it will delay things a bit, but in your case it will be necessary.
8. I realize you don't want to delay your application, but it would help if you waited for a while - let's say 6 months to a year - and developed your long-distance relationship, keeping proof of everything. The way it is now, you'll probably be refused, and will then have to wait a year or more for the appeal anyway. Better if you get enough evidence to get accepted first.
9. Is your wife a Canadian citizen or a PR? If she is a Canadian citizen, she could come live with you for 6 months or a year, which would help the application a lot. If she is a PR, she will have to stay in Canada. You may not want the baby totay in Kenay though, I undrstand.
