I kinda figured he was just being a puppy, but wanted to make sure it wasnt anything else.

So I tried the yelping suggestion which didn't faze him and also giving him a toy which he ignores (seems to like my skin better). I went back to the fist thing and I think it's starting to work. When he tries to bite my finger, hand or wrist I make a fist and put my knuckles in his mouth so the boney part hits his muzzle/teeth. He definitely doesnt like this and stops biting my hand. As for my feet, when he starts to bite them i replace it with my fist again. Occompanying this with a firm no seems to be working. I am going to keep at it and see if the point gets across. Thanks for the suggestions!
