Hello and welcome aboard Sarah & Bella 
Jack was the same at that age with the biting. It's just there way of playing....once she learns that the biting is not on.....those bites will turn into constant licking

Hia welcome to the forum Sarah, as for the biting it takes quite a while for this to get under control as its natural for pups to be very mouthy.
Just keep giving a firm no and ignore her, they dont like being ignored so that tend to get them to adjust soon enough. They realise biting means no attention being nice and licking means getting fuss.
If need be and they wont stop and keep going at you when your ignoring them find somewhere you can put her in a small timeout, just make sure there is nothing they can hur themselves on or with though.
Takes time but reward the good behaviour and firm no and ignore them when they are being bad, is a basic rule for most things really. Always try to teach them what you want them to do though instead of always having to tell them what not to do.
If they wanna chew make sure they have plenty of things to chew that they are allowed. Then praise them for chewing it and encourage them to chew them.
