Sounds like your puppy is right on track.

But...be sure to have lots of patience. Yorkies are both smart and stubborn. If you work outside of the home (which I do) I have always gone with the 1 year birthday as my mark for when my pups are completely house trained and accident free (for the most part).

Now that being said, your baby will be house trained long before 1 year - but you may still have accidents from time to time. But at the 1 year mark, I have been able to trust my dogs and let them have access to pretty much all of the house. After 1 year, mine have been able to tell me when they need to go potty.

Mine go outside for the most past, but still use the pee pads when it is raining outside (monsoon storms can be bad and really windy). Last week when it was really cold here, they would not go outside when it was 17 degrees for anything. I opened the door and there was immediate u-turns - I could not blame them, it was really cold and windy compared to the rest of the year.
