Same thing happened to 2 of my sites. Great at launch then a bit over a month or two in nothing.
If you add good content, have good metrics and do SMART link building and give it time, google shows some love.

A lot of webmasters refer to this as the honeymoon period for new sites. When you launch a new site, and start link building, google will usually rank you really well for about a month while it determines where you should actually be placed in search. From there you'll usually see a complete drop, and you'll end up buried somewhere past page 1 (unless you're working with really low competition kw or something)
in regards to OP, sounds like the honeymoon period imo, but its really hard to determine what could be causing a drop in se traffic without seeing the domain or backlink profile
