Another thing that also prevented me from being super interested in my S in the beginning was the lack of 1. response from him
Most probably b/c you weren't super interested in him, and spent to little time with him. If you spend more time with him and be more interested, I'm sure he'll respond better to you.

Dude, no way. YOU ran out of things to do. The world is quite new to him, there is plenty to do.
Feed ducks. Show him some plants/moss/trees/bugs/leaves. Find some small rocks and throw them in a puddle. Find some small rocks and let him give some to you and you give some to him(Sharing). Show him some trucks/cars/mc's Write on a piece of paper and let him try. Dance/sing/tell story.(Doesn't matter what, just be enthusiastic) Let him help you put clothes in the washer, clean up spilled water, clean off tables, help cleaning up toys. Show him how to brush his own teeth. Show him how to use a (safe/play) tool. Hide and seek. Playdough. And so forth.
Things that might seem meaningless to us is fun and bonding for them. Important bonding happens even though there's nothing spectacular going on.
