Each baby is different. This is usually a time when they are interacting more sticking out their tongues. Smiling.
The site below is fabulous for developmental milestones and information. Their books ring true to me after 14 years of being a parent.
Here is a tiny piece of advice. Grab an ugly calendar and put it near the changing table. (it has to be ugly so you don't get hung up on handwriting or using the right pen or anything)
Jot down facts and feelings each day. Later you will have a record of the things that each of us has forgotten from those early months.

Don't compare your baby to other's. They're all different. Eventually you'll be comparing the child to other children... If your baby is not doing enough for you ask your doctor.
The more YOU encourage your baby the faster it will learn new things ex: talk to it (i've been telling my baby "my mommy loves me" everyday since she was born-now she smiles when I say it) , sing to it, encourage it to reach out for objects (don't just hand them to the baby - makes 'em lazy),I put toys in front of my kids just out of reach to encourage them to crawl, my 7mth old is already walking with help, don't let them whine for stuff as they grow - encourage them to use words. It WILL matter when they're older (just ask my ex-he still whines to his mom AND it works!) Start teaching it words now even though they can't repeat them back - they are still taking it all in. My 7mth little girl claps when I start to say 'patty cake', she waves hi and bye, she waves both arms when you say 'yeeaa' , she moves her head side to side when she likes the music- she knows whats up even though she can't say it yet. I'm learning spanish with her (even though the rest of my family and I speak english) We'll see if she ends up bi-lingual. I was a nanny for 6 yrs, a 2yr old preschool teacher for over a year before that, babysat for ages and now have 4 of my own (13,9,6 and 7mths). It's true: the first 3 years of life are the most important

Lifting her head and chest up, turning her head in the direction of my voice, smiling, rolling from stomach to back, sleeping through the night. Those were great days filled with lifetime memories!
