She's so little, you need to put the crate somewhere near your bed. They get lonely. Louie slept in his crate near our bed where he could see us. I got him at 12weeks and sometimes when he would cry in the middle of the night it meant he had to pee. For about the first month or month 1/2 I took him to pee in the middle of the night and eventually he learned to hold it all through the night. Sometimes he didn't even have to pee, he just wanted to be held for a few minutes. Please remember to be patient, these little guys have just been ripped away from their familiar surroundings and the warmth of their brothers and sisters and mama...if it cries in the middle of the night, take it to go pee pee, give it a few hugs and then tell it to go night-night. I would put him near you to sleep in his crate. And don't forget to cover the crate with a blankie and put a blankie in the crate as well to make sure they are comfy and snuggly and warm in their sleeping quarters. Good luck.
