Default Hates to be held

I've noticed a new behavior starting with Rex this week. He hates being held for longer than 3 sec (Yes i timed it! LOL). When we picked him out of the liter I held him for at least 10 minutes, even flipped him on his back and he was fine then. I used to have to carry him outside for potty time, he was fine then. Now all of a sudden if he's held he whines and thrashes all around to try and get loose. Does he just have better things to do as a 7 week old pup right now? The ol' "I ain't got time for this, mom!" act? Or is this the start of something else, cause he does it even when he's sleepy, not just when he's wound up.
Sounds kinda silly now that I've got this all typed out, but I figure it's worth asking.
