I'd rather have the T2i anyways.

First thing you need to buy is the canon 50mm f1.8. You can get them used on ebay and amazon, brand new their $125, so you should be able to get them really cheap used.

The lower F-stop number of F1.8, as opposed to your kit lens which is probably around F3.5, will allow you to blur the background more and will work better in low light so you don't have to always FLASH your child, something i didn't like people doing to my infant son.

+1 for the prime.  40 STM is a fine lens too.
