Anyone else have a hitter?

Austin is a mess.
He has great days, he is a very happy baby.  Smiles all the time, to everyone.
We have run into a little problem though. He hits his brother, me, my husband... I haven't really seen him hit a stranger yet but I am sure its coming! He does it and runs away smiling.  You tell him "bad" and he still smiles. 
I have tried timeouts, saying sorry, giving hugs to apologize, spanking (which makes no sense at all, spanking a kid for hitting?). 
What works for you?
Or maybe your child is nothing like this and my is just possessed.
I would think it was an attention thing but he does it even if I am sitting on the floor playing with him. 
We tryed sticking out hands out for high fives if we see him running toward us with his hand ready to strike...it doesn't really work.

I think I have a little bully on my hands.  Hopefully it is something he will grow out of.
