We've been home seven months too and have been struggling with this situation also.
Our oldest DD didn't let Dh do ANYTHING with her until about three months home, then she would allow him to help her/feed her/bathe her IF I was around. It was around the five month mark when I noticed how things weren't improving and I had a serious talk with Dh. I am a SAHM and with the girls every second of the day, I pick my battles and play with them constantly. Dh was having less patience with her and wasn't doing a lot of floor time playing. After we came to that realization and Dh changed those two things, our oldest really started bonding with him more. Just this Sunday she walked over to us, jumped on top of Daddy instead of me, and laid there with him for about 20 minutes! It actually brought tears to my eyes. Now...she still prefers me for boo boos and night time, but she has really started attaching to Dh.
Our youngest had been attaching to us at an equal pace, but lately all she wants is Mommy. Not sure where that is coming from????
Anyway, I think with my oldest it has a lot to do with me being there 24-7. Could it be the same with Viktor?
Good luck to you. And BTW: I just saved my youngest from Dh's arms tonight while in line at Toy's R US!
