Worried about new puppy

Hey everyone just after a bit of advice, i have just had my first puppy his name is Alfie, 7 weeks old staffordshire bull terrier.

I am just really worried that he maybe aggressive, i can pick him up feed him out my hands, touch him everywhere its just when he is playing or excited he always goes for my hands he can be quite snappy sometimes he growels or barks and jumps up at my hands to bite them. I have been trying bite inhibition i yelp when he bites me look away then he seems to get worse growels and goes for me again, i have also tried walking out the room after i yelp but then he runs after me, once im out the room i can hear him running about and barking. He does lick aswell which i dont mind, when he tries to mouth i give him a toy to distract him.

I do love him but his behavoiur is really upsetting me at the moment.
