Daddy is novel. You stay all day, daddy comes and goes. And when he comes home, it's play time. Of course the puppy is going to find that exciting and gravitate towards that, just like kids do.
Some dogs do have a preference for one person over another. My Scarlett absolutely adores my husband. It's taken time for her to get that excited about seeing me.
You can't worry about competing with your husband for the puppy's affections; it's a losing proposition all the way around. Build your own relationship with him based on affection and positive reinforcement.
