It might be good to document her correspondence with you, as well. You listed plenty of mail and packages you have and will send her but USCIS is going to want to see how she communicates with you, as well, because just you sending things might be a red flag for them. I know that's difficult in reality. My SO is from a developing country as well but I also asked (and he obliged) to send a handwritten letter every now and again. USCIS isn't scrutinizing you, it's scrutinizing your SO as an "alien." They do not care that a little girl needs a father, they want to be proven wrong that some foreigner isn't coming to suck up all their resources. (Please note that those are not my sentiments at all regarding immigration but the perspective of USCIS as enforced through legislation.)
For maintaining the relationship while you wait, as others noted, Skype and messaging in addition to mail and packages. My SO cannot afford the internet package required for Skype/videochat through his phone carrier so we mainly use WhatsApp which allows for free calling, messaging, voice recording, and recorded videos. Usually we're fine with talking about our day but sometimes our conversations are a type of "21 Questions" game that livens up discussion and gets us to know more about one another. We've used some of the questions from the LFAD questionnaires, as well.
