Here is the thing, maybe the more experienced moms can shed some light. He definitely has more saliva coming out of his little mouth lately; he is sucking on his fingers (ok, sometimes the whole fist and trying to stuff both fists in his mouth); he is cranky after 7PM or 8PM, when the sun sets (no, our child is not a werewolf =P). He is going to be 12 weeks on Thursday. Is it possible that he is teething? No his gum is not swollen. I am hoping he is just tired at the end of the day... and not teeth till he is at least 6 months. We will see. =)

Typically, the first tooth erupts around 6 months of age (according to the dentist, who enlightened me at C's teeth-cleaning a month or so ago). However, the teeth begin their trip toward the gumline much earlier, and during that trip they bug baby just a bit. This irritation started for C around 13-14 weeks of age. So, the short answer is yes, it's teething, yet, it is not.
