    When my DH used to go away for camps or was late home as he was doing night school we put a photo of him on the fridge and the girls loved it.
    Even if he was not there they could always say goodnight.

    They can recoginize people they see often in photos so keep talking to her about your DH. It also helps when he comes back home as he is then not a stranger.

    Oh yes absolutely A game that I've played with all of mine is to walk around the house from photo to photo. They love it!

    Yep, they can recognise people in photos. My little guy especially loves looking at ones of himself lol!

    That's how my nephew learned to say my name! I don't get to see them more than once or twice a month, but my sister shows him photos of all of us, and points us out and says our name in turn. Now all she has to do is point to someone, and he'll say the name - and then, last time I saw him, he took one look at me and said, 'Jody!' Now we just hafta work on the 'Aunty' part

    I'd say she is recognising him, they are often smarter than we give them credit for! I recently got some pics printed out and stuck some on the fridge. There's a couple of our dog, one of the dog & DD and one of me & DD, she points to us all and oohs and ahhs over them and goes "oof oof" at the ones of the dog. She loves pointing to all the photos we have framed around the house.

    My DS could pick me in a photo very early, so I reckon Daddy would be pretty easy for her.
    My DH often had to hold him near a family photo if I went out so he could still 'see' me lol.
