What kind of interactive behaviors should my 2-week-old have?

Eye contact.: Gives more precise meaning to crying (hunger, discomfort, excitement). Cries when left alone; usually stops when picked up. Makes variety of gurgling and cooing sounds when happy and content. Makes eye contact. May quiet down in response to human face. Responds positively to being held and comforted. May smile socially at familiar faces and voices, especially mother's voice.

2 week old behavior: At two weeks, babies can really only see if your face is about 12 inches a way. They need your tender touch, and listen to your voice, and being swaddled and held gently. Keep your face close to them and then move it away so they have a chance to relax and then restimulate.
