Default I finally got my baby!need advice

I find yorkietalk to be my guide to parenting. I have researched everything on this site and find myself reading threads to answer my everyday questions. I've posted only a few threads but mostly about breeders in Northern California. Well I'm glad to finally be able to show you all Hiccup!!!

I found him from an amazing breeder in Rio Linda Sacramento. She is awesome and so helpful. He is 13 weeks old (tomorrow) and is the love of my life. His mom is all white parti yorkie and his dad is the cutest sweetest yorkie I've ever met. I've been waiting years to get my baby and am the happiest person alive now that he is here.

I have a few questions I'm curious about if anyone can help.

He's 13 weeks old and is already marking (we think). He doesn't lift his leg yet but hell go pee and poop in the morning and will then walk around the house sniffing and peeing like the size of a quarter here and there. Is this normal for a puppy at this age? Our Apartment is new so no other dogs have been here too. I had to buy a belly band because it was getting to the point where I couldn't take my eyes off him for a Second. He does all his business on the pads except for these little pees.

He's having a really hard time being alone. I'm hoping he gets used to it but for the past week he cries and barks for a decent amount of time after we leave. I've tried everything: toy kongs, treats, music, radio, tshirt, clock. I even set up my ipad to watch and listen to him after we left and it took him 30 min to somewhat stop. Has anyone had similar problems? If so how long does this usually last until they enjoy or are used to being home alone?

He's itching a lot too. When we play every second or two he has to stop to itch. I use baby shampoo to wash him. Could that be it?

What types if treats does anyone recommend for a puppy?

I appreciate all the help! And so does hiccup!!

*got his name from my favorite movie How to Train your Dragon*
Ill post pics later. For some reason it doesn't work on my phone
