Your dog does most of his actions according to the place he believes he is in the pack ie beneath you. If you mirror his actions, he gets confused. Cute, but only if your prepared to have your face ripped off next time you screw with his head.

He thinks that you are dominating him and he is being submissive, that is all :)
You might want to be a bit careful acting like a dog though... he might start treating you as a dog.
A dog will be a lot more rough with another daog than a trained dog will be with a human.
Instead of nibbling, he could easily have starting snapping at your face.

Hard to tell from your description.
Dog sniff to get to know another animal. If you are standing over him then he may be releasing to you the alpha roll. The dominate dog will stand over the submissive dog. So maybe the nibbling is a submissive behavior.

Your dog considers you as the leader of his pack and is being submissive to you. When you reverse the role, it confuses him.

You're confusing him, stop doing it! He looks up to you as the Master. If you start acting just like him, he becomes confused and doesn't know how to act.

I think your dog thinks you are showing distress and he is trying to calm you down.
It's puppy behaviour, you're his mother :-)
