You have a perfectly fine little puppy! If he has never bit you or another human with mean intentions then you shouldn't be afraid to have a baby. My dog had a monkey that he loved to death then I looked up after a few months and the poor monkey had his heart (the squeaker) in one place, his ears, legs, and arms all in another place. He's just trying to let out some energy. The zoomies are a funny thing to watch. They do calm down with age, but they still like to play and be entertained. Try introducing him to other dogs to help with his barking, that comes from being under socialized, but everything else seems perfectly normal to me. You should enjoy it and play along with him, my dog is growing out of his puppy phase and I kind of miss all the fetch turned tug of war games. Don't you want your puppy to be excited to see you and want to play with you? I don't think dominance really matter when he's just trying to have a fun time, you just have to make sure you can calm him down when it's not appropriate (i.e. when guest come over and they jump on them).
