i think people mis-read your question,.. he is 15 WEEKS!! not years.
he should be able to pick up his head, briefly and sit up with you supporting him. here soon he should be ready to try his first mouthfull of baby food. he should be babbling and start to make 2 and 3 "words" they even might start sounding like mom, dad, hey, yummy, what ever you say to him alot. rolling over should come soon as well. at first by accident and then back in forth by his choice.

Every baby is different but the more you do with them the more information their magnificant brains will absorb. They are little sponges! Some are naturally more lazy and some very advanced. Either way they are learning from every gesture, smile, book, music and silly noises you make. If your 15 week old is already accustomed to his belly try adding a little pressure to his feet as he is kicking and bouncing in place. This will help him realize the limbs do something...they can push! This can help him discover crawling or at least moving up to his knees. Play simple little games with him. Suprisingly some of the simplest things are teaching him a lot. Point out things in books he will watch your finger...use his finger too. Copy the noises he makes he will discover he has a voice. When you get him dressed, bathed, or putting lotion on him talk about the body part you are working with. For example lets put your left foot in the sock now! The tone of your voice is also soothing. He may not catch on to everthing you are doing right away but he will. Look into a sing language class now too. At some point he is going to really start to communicate and show his wonderful personality. This can help you both understand what he wants or needs as well as help with his language!
With all that being said first and foremost you have to remember that every baby is different and learns at a different pace! Have fun this is a fun stage!

How your baby's growing
Is your baby strong enough to hold up his head now to see what's going on? Better joint flexibility allows many three-month-olds to wave and kick more forcefully and to open their fingers and bring their hands together.
A few babies stop needing a night feed around now, giving you a chance to rediscover sleep. Even if your baby still needs feeding in the night, by now she should be asleep for longer at night and settling down in the evening. It doesn't always happen though, and some babies remain fickle sleepers. If you haven't already thought about it, now is a great time to introduce a bedtime routine.
Chances are your little charmer is still bestowing smiles on everyone he meets this month, but he's getting choosier about the company he keeps. In large groups or with people he doesn't know very well, he may need some time to adapt.
The temporal lobe in your baby's brain, which handles hearing, language, and smell, is bustling with activity now. Make the most of it by talking to your baby, playing music, and reading out loud.
Your baby's second set of immunisations is due this month. If he's unwell on the day, talk to your health visitor or doctor before you go to the clinic.
It's never too early to start reading to your baby. Think about joining a library and find out which books are a hit with parents and babies
hope this helps

Not much--he might start acting excited when he sees you and maybe you'll get a little smile now and then. He's just busy eating, sleeping, growing. Enjoy him--rock him, sing to him, read to him, make sure he has a mobile in his bed, whatever kind it might be. When it's not too cold, stroll him out in the fresh air so he can take in nature and different looking things. Play classical music when he sleeps during the day.

Well he needs to start to shave, use plenty of deodorant, and get regular hair cuts because at this age heir becomes very greasy.

umm making funny noises, smiling at people, laughing at absolutely everything and rolling around, all crazy happy. Atleast that's what most babies that age do that I've seen.
