Olivia on a Rope Swing
This series of photos from camp led me to question, “Are second-born children braver?” Let me know your thoughts over at my post last week.
Here is a fun thumbnail linky…

I can tell that she was having fun!
What a genuine smile! =)

Olivia is always smiling so brightly!
She looks so genuinely happy- what a great shot of the freedom of childhood!
Now THAT looks like fun!
She is SOOOOOOOOOO cute
She always has the BIGGEST smile on her face!!!
Great shot!! It’s obvious, she is having a blast!!! Swings are so much fun!!
awww Great shot so precious. Kids do luv swings don’ t they
My kids LOVE to swing.
I have 2 older girls and I’d have to say my 2nd one is intentionally braver. Don’t make me explain! LOL
Of my 2 younger boys, I’d have to say the 2nd one is braver. My 1st wants to be braver so he does try. =)
Love the rope swing photo!
Loving the joy on that sweet little face!
Olivia is so adorable and her smile is infectious.
Carefree Fun!
You know what? These pictures are even cuter now that I know her in person
Oh what a great photo!! She is having a great time!
That is a question I will never have the answer to as the mother of an only child…and he is a bit of a scaredy cat.
Aww kids swinging is the BEST!
Ah! She looks like she’s enjoying one of my favorite pastimes as a child!
Yes! My daughter is braver, but also acts wiser. She doesn’t make the same mistakes her brother did before her. Well, and we are better parents now.
Great pic, as usual!
I totally agree, the second is ore brave.
She is beautiful.
Aww, looks like she’s having a blast!

What a great photo! I still need to go and reply to your Second Child post. I think in the case of our family it is VERY true. My little guy has no fear and loves to try anything/everything.
She looks like she is having a ball!
I think if the kids are close in age, the second one can tend to be braver. If they are farther apart, the younger one can depend a little more on the older ones and then, develope slower.
Great photo. You take great photographs of your daughter. She has a beautiful smile.
She looks like she is having a great time!
She is a beauty and that looks like a professional shot!
As a child Rope swing where the greatest. I will need to find a tree to put one up.

Beautiful pic! In our case, my second born is not braver. Our first born is a boy…a dare devil whom I caught propping his bike ramp on top of cinderblocks last night in an effort to catch bigger air! My second is a daughter, more of a girly girl. She’s pretty good at holding her own, but definitely more cautious than #1.
Have a great Wed
That big beautiful grin says it all!
If you think your 2nd born is braver imagine my 4th – it’s a wonder my heart is still beating after all she has put it through – wonderful shot of your little one – so full of joy!
looks like she is loving it. it makes me want to swing on a rope swing
.
our 2nd child seems more fearless, but i don’t know if it’s because he’s a boy or if it’s because he’s the 2nd child (our 1st is a girl) or if it’s a little bit of both. although, our 1st child seemed fearless when she was younger, but now that she’s a bit older she seems more cautious about certain things.
Love the unadulterated glee!
She looks like she’s having a blast!

She is definitely having fun. Just look at the joy in her eyes! It’s such freedom!
Aloha!
Love all the pics, as always!
What a beautiful smile!
What a beautiful smile!!
What a little cutie….
She is so happy…. how cute!
she is so adorable!!
Awww, so so sweet
Thanks for hosting!
All my kids are brave – except the 1st born. He is the biggest chicken EVER. He’s 9 and just barely decided to try and learn how to ride a bike. But he’ll only practice in the grass. lol
Well, I was a second-born weenie, so maybe you shouldn’t base your theory on me.
What a great smile!
What a big smile! Swings are one of the best forms of therapy, don’t you think?
What a wonderful photograph! I love the way a child’s smile can covey such sheer joy.
Precious pics! The smiles make my day!
