Diana,
I got some good advice here when my Nickie was about the same age as your pup. He was vomiting in his crate early in the morning (like around 4AM). It was like stomach bile. I got advice on this board that he was not mature enough to only have two meals per day and to go back to the three meals with the evening meal tending to "tide him over" until morning. It worked like a charm. Plus about that same time we switched him from the junk dog food to Canidae kibble. No more problems with vomiting. Like Sandy said above, the pup is just hungry.
As your pup matures, she will learn to have more self-control and be settled down until you are ready to get up. The blanket over the crate also worked like a charm for us.

Good suggestions all around, and I just want to reinforce that I feel pretty sure, as Carol says, that the dog is being rewarded by getting let out when she barks.
The newest dog here at my house thought that would work too, at dawn, and I bought soft foam earplugs and put them in before dawn.
Even if I had not had them, I would have suffered through a few times rather than actually reward the barking..... which is a clear lesson to the dog in what works.
