Is this the YT growth chart you are referring to? This one has stayed very close to the chart so far yet I was hoping would be at least in the 4-6 pound range, I never imagined smaller.

Yorkshire Terrier Information Center | Yorkie Growth Chart
Yup! puppies have many growth spurts during the first few months and up to 1 year or older. Some will start out small and then have a big spurt along the way. And after getting them neutered or spayed, they will gain some weight. I would not worry as long as she is consistantly gaining weight.
