Waterworld isn't a public pool, it is privately owned, we've never been but it is supposed to be really good.
You don't say if you already have children but Yorkmaze is really good if the weather is nice. Or for something a little different Dig is somewhere mine are after going.
The National railway museum, the Castle museum, the Yorkshire museum (in the museum gardens), the Minster, all fantastic places, although i am biased.
As said before the tour buses are good value (re-use the same ticket over 24hours) and you can hop on and off, also the Bar Walls are a good way to get around if you fancy a break from crowded streets (take care if it's wet though). The Quilt museum has some amazing work in if you like that type of thing.
Just out of York Beningbrough hall and gardens is nice, and further afield Castle Howard
There are tons of other places i could mention but maybe have a look here for some more ideas.
Edited: sorry i just noticed you said your first baby, but then again i wouldn't mind Dig & Yorkmaze myself

I live in York and would say you've got lots of the main things here...but can i be pedant and say Waterworld is actually publicly owned but leased to a private company!
The Walls are a must and free! You could do worse than get yourself a book called "The Snickelways of York", which is available in all book shops and gives you lots of little interseting routes around the city. I bought it and found my kids loved the walks
It's well worth popping into this place which is free and a little oasis:

Get a sandwich and a drink and go and sit here for you lunch, it's a little gem!
Whereabouts in York? You say 3 miles from the city...Bishopthorpe? If so eat at the Ebor which is Sam Smiths pub which means cheap beer and good food, I'd avoid the Marcia and The Woodman. If you are in Bishopthorpe it's also worth popping into the social club if you're a member of a club elsewhere.
Also if you're here for a while and able to travel ( Train,bus or car) get yourself over to the coast.
