Teach the puppy bite Inhibition. Every time the puppy bites, you yelp. That yelp should be a loud, high-pitched indignant sound like another puppy would make if it were nipped. What you are doing is communicating to your puppy it hurts. A low pitched "Ahh Ahh" or "NO" may still startle the puppy but probably doesn't communicate as clearly that you are hurt.
Resume play, moving you hand around the muzzle when the pup stop mouthing. After a while the excited puppy usually chomp down again. Repeat the yelp and again pause without withdrawing your hand. Repeat 10 times if you have to and do this 2-3 times per day. Have everyone in the household do it. This helps the puppy generalize the lesson to all humans.
Use the low pitch reprimand when the pup grabs your clothing or bites at things he is not supposed to.
