He looks all innocent and cute - but then begins to "play" with mouthing - which I try to stop with every method I'd read - from yelling "OUCH" and then replacing my hand with one of his toys and re-inforce, saying "Rocky's toy" - but within a minute he is flying for my face!!! I've tried giving him the under-2-minute time out after the yelling "OUCH" fails only for the dog to continue jumping like a kangaroo growling and snapping. When he returns from time out he's fine for all about 5 minutes until he's "playing" with my hand which is ALREADY holding one of his chew toys - which he bites only until he finds the end and shows that he clearly prefers to chew the fleshy HAND found at the END of the chew toy.

This is going to take more than a few days. You have a very young puppy, he's just trying to play with you. How loud do you say ouch? I recommend you scream bloody murder at the top of your lungs and then stop all interaction with him. Keep doing this, it could take all day or many days. Try that first, if that work doesn't try the timeout method. How are you doing that one?
