EASON MAGPIES:

Thanks for sharing. Guess you are almost in the same shoe as me since your son is about my daughter age. My parents commented maybe at this period son would want the daddy more.

I dont know if sex makes a difference.

I wanted to make the habit of bring her for a walk everyday I come home so I try my best not to leave work too late and also not go out for dinner and evening activities with friends. I thought by doing so will then make it a habit and she will wait eagerly everyday for daddy to bring her down but it did not turn out that way.

One reason could be my dad brings her for walk every morning as we lived very near my parents.

I just pray things get better ~~

I am not too sure sex makes any difference at such a tender age though i have heard girls tend to get closer to daddy and boys to mommy. Opposites attract maybe?

You're doing a lot to try to foster a close bonding with your girl but as in anything else dun try too hard, take things naturally and understand all these issues are just a passing phase. I am pretty sure your girl will understand how dear her daddy is to her as she grows. For my case i am just very happy to know that my boy is happy and healthy.

Oh yes here are some links from youtube i promise to share, you can show them to your girl daily to encourage her to learn new words and to sing along. You can echo the songs together with her as you get familiar with it, do it with actions and she will mimic what you are doing before you know it.

Wow you're a really good daddy! I am a new dad as well and my boy is 15 months old, i do not think i am doing as much as you for my boy. For one thing i do not bathe him.

Do not worry too much about the progress of your little girl, she will walk when it's time for her to walk. She will talk when it's time for her to talk. Every child starts making certain progress at their own timing. I remember i was especially worried when my boy couldn't crawl earlier and i was looking at facebook videos of similar age boys of my friends who were already learning to walk by holding on to sofas and beds. He's crawling like nobody's business now and learning to walk by pushing a playcart. Yea get one of those playcarts that can help encourage your girl to push and walk.

With regards to speech, you can try letting her watch some videos on youtube on phonics. I will try to paste some links for you tonight when i get home. I have it all in my browser marked as favourites. When my boy sees and hears them he goes hysterical all over.

With regards to issues of bonding, satyagraha made a very good point in highlighting an activity to your girl that only daddy knows and can do for her. For example in my case, my boy gets up in the morning expecting daddy to be the one to prepare milk for him and feed him. I feed him every morning before i go to work. At night when i come back from work, i will be the one to wrap a towel around him after mommy bathes him and carry him to his bed while mommy dries him. My boy will also expect me to be the one who then lies beside him on our bed and sees him to sleep.
Babies are creatures of habits and if you can arrange with your wife to segregate daily activities for your girl amongst the two of you consistently everyday it will help with your bonding with her.

Another thing to help you feel better is the knowledge that baby/toddler behaviour towards things/people change often over these initial years/months so don't worry too much if she's not responding much to you now. The next month may be a different picture altogether!

Good luck!
