how do i stop 9 wk puppy from biting?

I have no major complaints about my puppy. He is 9 weeks old, turning 10 on thursday..hes a lovely boy...and he's very smart. I have thought him some basic things..like sit, drop..let go..etc..but he likes to mouth. Sometimes he gets so excited when we play he looks at me...then runs up to me in full speed, flips near my legs on his back and his mouth is opening and closing just reaching out for my hand to grab on..he doesnt bite very hard...its fairly gentle and i always correct him with a NO..he lets go when he hears a no (most cases) but then a few seconds later goes at it again..then he bites his own foot ...he has plenty of jew toys...my question is should i be more stricter with the nos? I dont yell at him or shake him when he does it and i dont know if i should... I just say it firmly nooo
Also what were your puppies like? how long did they mouth for? How did you get them to stop;)? Thanks
