Yeah, that was ribbing you were doing - it's definitely smoother in the second piece. When they want you to do that effect deliberately, the pattern will say BLO or FLO, which stands for back loop only (or front loop.)
But yay, crochet! They look good, both squares. And it's good to start with a pale colour, because it's easier to see where to put your hook.
Are they your first squares? You should definitely keep them and look back on them later - you'll get a kick out of seeing how much your technique and familiarity has changed.
