for the last 3 or 4 months, Chris will go thru periods of major fussiness
and screaming.  all the signs have pointed towards teething.  this seemed
confirmed when in early sept. we saw a tiny, hard white spot on his lower
gum--the beginning of a tooth.  the frustrating part is that, in all this
time nothing had changed--until today.  during a screaming session, i went
to see if the tooth had grown--figurung his pain could be the tooth pushing
thru more, and it's gone!  no white spot, nothing.  just a (possible) slight
dent where it had been for the last three months.

were we mistaken?  was it not a tooth (even the doctor figured that it was)?
is ant of this normal?
