It does sound to me like she is teething - and I would try to get the kids to stop pestering her - that might lead to problems.
At about 4 months, Rowdy started barking at us and growling when he was playing, not minding, not coming, running from us, etc etc. He was a BRAT! We had to get his attention and then he was a different little boy. I've mentioned this is several threads - I had his harness on him and when he would bark at us or act bratty, I'd grab him (gently) by him by the back of his harness and shake (startle) him - not shake him hard, but enough to really startle him. I'd look him in the eye and say, NO, very sternly along with the shake. I only had to do it on 3 occasions and he then was a very well behaved little boy.
I do think though, that you should stop the teasing.
I'm sure that others with lots more experience than me will give you more (better) advice.
