Am I sucking at this parenting thing?

So I will read books on what my 7 week old could be doing, or I'll see videos of moms who's babies are interactive or playing, or doing things at about the same age according to mother posting and I find it strange because:

  1. my baby is usually fussy, dedicated tummy time ( not on my lap) pisses her off. Or she's not much responsive to let's say a rattle or a black and white stuffie outside of a face of confusion or terror.

  2. All she wants to do is sleep and poop. And most of the time outside of that, she cries, it's rare to see even a glimpse of something interesting ( like she coo-ed with interest at dad for doing bicycle legs ONCE).

  3. The closest activity I have found to do that she doesnt mind time to time is a walk/stroll.....while she sleeps.

I was told by pediatrician not to worry about it ( at 1 month appointment). But I cant help but wonder if my baby is being slow and if it's a bad thing. Am I being interactive enough or is baby affected on how tired I am. Will my baby ever show curiosity by reaching, not just staring? Should I not worry? Humor me and/or tell me the truth
