Miss Maudie felt that the town of Maycomb was making a step forward because they had the courage to stand up against racism and prejudice by convicting Tom Robinson, a black man wrongly accused of a crime. She believed that the decision represented progress towards a more just and equal society.
It is because they were talking about prejudice and saying that Atticus has made a baby step because it took the jury over 5 hours to decide that Tom is guilty whereas normally it would take less then 20 minutes, showing that they are a taking baby steps are becoming a county with no racism
Miss Maudie says this when the Finches and she are discussing the outcome of Tom Robinson's trial. Since the jury didn't come to an automatic verdict of 'guilty' right away but actually deliberated over it for quite a long time, she considers this as progress and a positive step towards real justice, however small it may be. Atticus adds that although he cannot be sure who it was, at least one person on the jury took an initial stance for Tom's innocence, and he thinks that person was Mr. Cunningham. He guesses this from the awkward writing on the slip of paper used to write the verdict. Atticus plans to make an appeal, but as the story turns out, he never gets the chance to do so. Tom tries to escape while being transferred to another jail and is shot down and killed.
Miss Maudie explains that the small victories achieved through Tom's case were in the courage shown by Atticus in standing up for what is right, and in the fact that some of the jury members did have doubts about Tom's guilt. She acknowledges that change will be slow and difficult, but that every step taken towards equality is a victory.
Your son would be the baby's uncle. Nobody would put such a fine point on the relationship to call your son the "Step-uncle" or "Half-uncle".
Figuratively, a baby step is a small effort made towards the completion of a bigger task.
