I have a 13-14 lber. Years ago, yorkies were actually about 30ish lbs and through the years have been bred down to the sizes that we know today. Occasionally there will be an old gene pop up every now and then - hence the larger "teapots" as they are affectionately known as. Truthfully, a lot of dogs start slowing down their growth at 6 months-ish. I know Chip didn't grow at all after 6 months and we got Smokey at 6 months and he was already grown. He probably won't get that much bigger - maybe a lb or two if any at all.
