he doesn't like his crate too much as far as overnight goes. i guess the solution is just let him cry it out but it's really loud and i don't really want to disturb apartment neighbors. any hints/tips/ideas about crate training?

You're doing fine. He's too young to make it through the night without having to potty. I got my latest dog when he was 9 weeks. I put the crate in our room and took him out at 2:00 A.M. until he could make it through the night which was when he was about 5 months old or so. I physically carried him but he quickly grew to over 40 lbs so that was a pain. I live in a house though so that may not be as easy for you. The important thing is to make sure he has a lot of successes and when he does praise the heck out of him. There are other alternatives but they're not as good IMO, PM me if you want to about it.
Cute puppy btw.
