Very normal, but unfortunately you have to discipline him. When he bites you there are a few things you can try.
1) In a very firm voice say no biting, and ignore him for a few seconds, or distract him with a toy after saying no biting. (this is my preference)
2)Bitter spray on your hands
3) Take a can and drop a few beans in it to make a shaker. When he bites shake it. The noise will make him stop. (This didn't work with any of mine, just scared the poop out of them)
4)Lay him on his back and hold him there til he calms down. (which should only take a few seconds) and say no biting.
Hope this helps
