Generally speaking, meaning this is not always the case, yorkies and young children (and that is open to interpretation) simply don't go well together. For some, like me, 9 years old is too young to handle a pup without proper supervision. Others are ok with that, so really it's how you feel about trusting your son and your yorkie together alone. My pup will pee himself and get very defensive if around children. There is only one little boy in the world you will see my pup play with. He's also around 9 years old, and is not allowed to tease or pick my pup up. He also doesn't interact with my pup unsupervised. For me it's about baby steps. I'm trying really hard to get my pup to trust children. For me it's a long battle. For you, I think it will be easier.

I'm guessing your Baxter loves your kids right? He sees you, your hubbie, and your children as his pack. Having had Baxter since he was 7 weeks old means there will be a handicap on his learning proper behavior around your children and during playtime. That doesn't mean you can't overcome it. It means you, your hubbie and your kids all have to work together to teach him the things he missed out on from being separated from mom and litter mates way too soon. He's only 6 months old, so this can be mended. I also don't think the biting is malicious. Baxter just doesn't understand how to measure his bites.

For starters, no more teasing from anyone. At least not until you get the biting under control. Also, only adults should pick up Baxter. If your children want to hold them, have them sit on the floor and handle him there. That is, until the biting is under control. Have the entire family participate in daily obedience training. It only takes 15 mins a day to get a routine down, and everyone will be on the same page as to what commands he knows.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be able to solve this problem.
