Yes it is a 60 day extension of stay to visit family member using the normal TM.7 form at 1,900 baht. Have a 4x6cm photo and copy of marriage certificate as well as the wife.

Your are aware you can extend one year at a time with proof of 400k in bank account 2 months or income of 40k per month. Failing that you could obtain a one year multi entry non immigrant O visa from KL with show of 100k in an account anywhere. That would require leaving country every 90 days for a few minutes but much better than every other week. The visa itself would cost about 5k.

Marriage certificate and birth certificate of child, copy of wife's ID card and household registration. The extension is only given 1 time in a row. After that you have to leave the country or apply for a 1 year extension of stay. (If you have 400,000 in a bank account in Thailand or an income of 40,000 a month (before tax and can be from abroad).

Yes you do need to bring the wife (and child). Proof of work or income is not necessary for a 60 day extension.

From Police order 777/2551

Permission will be granted for a period of not more than 60 days at a time.

(1) Proof of relationship.

(2) In the case of a spouse, their marital relationship shall be de jure (legitimate) and de facto.
