He's absolutely ADORABLE! You've got quite a handsome fellow there lol. As for the nipping, every pup I've owned goes through that stage, ESPECIALLY while they're teething. My two pups at the moment are just getting out of that nasty habit. Every time they nip or mouth me I yank my arm/hand/leg (etc.) away from them, and say "no!" while jabbing (a quick tap usually works) them firmly on the shoulder/neck area and then giving them a rope or toy to chew on. Usually the tone of my voice or body posture is enough to get them to realize they're being too rough.
