Mathilda offered excellent advice. There are a number of stickies available from a link at the top of this section. These especially will likely be helpful to you:
Impulse Control and Calmness
Biting, Mouthing, and Nipping
Calming Signals
For the nipping, some dogs get more excited by yelping. You might try calmly removing yourself from the environment for a moment...repeat as needed. It will take time and consistency, but he'll eventually understand the nipping ends the fun.
Please continue to avoid using physical punishment or intimidation to train your pup. It may hurt your relationship and definitely won't do anything to help it.
At three months, he's a baby puppy who is learning about the world. Your job as his person is to teach him to behave in a human world in a positive, force-free manner; prevent him from practicing undesirable behaviors; and keep him safe and out of trouble.
