Not getting much back

My baby is 4 months next week and I'm just starting to feel like a failure.
I'm trying not to compare my baby to other babies because I know all babies are so different and do there milestone and different ages.
He is such a content baby, sleeps through the night which is amazing! The last week or so he just seems really not himself, I think he might be cutting a tooth but I don't think it's that bad at the moment.
It's been alot harder to settle him at night. He smiles but hasn't been as smiley as he was recently. When I put him on his playmat he plays and is smiley he loves me singing to him and he has rolled from back to tummy for the first time this week which is amazing!
But if I sit him up or have him on my knees i can't get anything back from him he doesn't look at me. I've always spoken to him, sing to him and read to him all the time. I'm just getting so exhausted and feel so low becuase he won't give me anything back.
If I'm holding him facing my husband and my husband speaks he gives him the biggest smile ever.
Last week he would look at me smile at me even in the bath just this week he seems to not be a happy smiling baby?
Is it sleep regression? I just want to get more back from him because it makes me feel amazing well he does.

It will come. Don't feel you have to interact all the time either.
