Nuttall Family: The Latest with Braxton

Braxton is becoming such a fun little boy! He is learning so many new things.

He has a smile that makes you smile and a scowl that also makes you smile!
He LOVES his dad - the last couple of days he has put the word dada with seeing Nate. This morning after getting Braxton up I was taking him into our room to see Nate and as soon as we turned the corner into our room he got a huge grin and said "dad". It was so sweet!
Mama = dad; Last night we tried to get Braxton to say mama (I have heard him say it 2 or 3 times about 3 months ago) every time we would say mama he would respond with "dad"
He has learned to hit; he only hits his mom and it's usually in the face right between the eyes on the nose. He always gives a good scowl before he does it making it so hard not to laugh as your trying to tell him that hitting in not nice.
Because of his sudden interest in hitting he has learned a new word! Whenever he hits me I grab his hand and with my other hand I point my finger at him and say "We don't hit. We need to be nice. Be nice" Well the Sunday after Nate's Birthday (1/30/11) we had our families over for dinner. We were sitting around talking when Braxton decided to play Jungle Gym on Chloee (who was laying on her side) by climbing all over her. When he decided he was done he sat on the floor right inside her stomach and hip area, stuck his finger out at her and said two or three times "Be nice. Be nice" in his cute, attempting words voice! We all looked at each other with that "did he really just say that" look only to hear him say it a couple more times!
Braxton LOVES to eat. He doesn't care what it is as long as he gets some. He is not picky what so ever! If he sees someone eating anything he feels that you are obligated to share with him. A couple of weeks ago we were with some friends and having pie for dessert. Tracie was the first to get a slice and on her way to the couch to eat it she walked right past Braxton. He eyed her plate the whole way to the couch and once she sat down started crawling as fast as he could toward her to get a taste! He especially loves Nutri-grain bars, gold fish, mac and cheese with hotdogs, bananas and anything sweet.
He is obsessed with ANYTHING that has buttons (keyboards, phones, remote controls)
A couple of weeks ago my cell phone was on the table for Braxton to play with - when I turned around to check on him he was holding it up to his neck and tying to talk to it!
He has just started to actually play with his toys the last couple of day
He as been "dancing" for about a week - it's more like head banging but it's so cute.
He has gotten really good with waving bye
When we say "Love you" he leans toward you and opens his mouth to give you a kiss
When you say "Oohh" he lays his head into you to give you a hug
He says "mmmm"when he eats
He makes the yucky sound (the "ca" in the back of the throat)
He has a crazy smile where he clenches his teeth and squints his eyes
