why else did they have a bit where Walt interacts with his baby for the first time?

as a person highly attuned to Men Being Cute With Babies, I must argue this is not the case.
he's been high-contact and caring for Holly wherever possible; Skylar gatekeeps her.

I guess you could argue he was interacting with the baby those times to antagonize or corner Skylar, but as much as I think Walt is a self-interested person, I don't think he's a sociopath. also: people extend their "self" to include their children as literal parts of themselves: it's why people who hate kids usually like their own kids. I think he genuinely cares about them, more than he could care for any separate person.
