I am with you 100% -- and I APPLAUD you for taking such an active part in your daughter's life. So often in this generation, I've seen fathers just either leave, or sit back and let the mother do it all -- and you are a refreshing change! Thank you for being such a GOOD father to your daughter!
I think you're absolutely right in wanting to do what you're doing. These things ARE the father's right and the grandfather already HAD his chance. If he blew it back then, it's just too darn bad. This is YOUR time, and your daughter shouldn't be confused as to who she should go to when hurt, or who gave her what, etc.
Grandpa needs to just be a Grandpa, NOT THE FATHER. Tell him to step back, and let YOU be the father. And any decisions that need to be made about your daughter are up to YOU. If Grandpa gets mad, he'll get over it if he wants to see granddaughter again. 
Like I said, I'm behind you 100% as you're NOT being unreasonable. You're being a GOOD DAD. So keep up the good work, as I know you will. You obviously love that little girl very much. Take care and God bless you. I wish there were more Dads out there like you! Hugs, Lee
