Steve,
I don't have any kids yet, I am only 23 but what I do know is that my dad never did a single thing with us kids. He was too busy with his girlfriends and drugs to pay any attention to us. He was in and out of prison and jail all the time so we hardly even got to know him. I was fortunate enough to have a great step dad but that will never replace the feeling of YOUR OWN FATHER not wanting anything to do with you. To this day I have no relationship what so ever with my real father. All I can tell you is don't let that happen with your daughter. Take her out for ice cream every once in a while, just the two of you. Tell her you love her everyday, and always remind her that she is the most important thing in your life. Plus she is female, just tell her that she is beautiful, even at 7 that will make her feel happy inside. Hope this helps some.
