My boy was 2lbs at 12 weeks and now at 9 months is 6lbs (most likely fully grown now).

3lbs would be too small for a full grown yorkie, the breed standard comes in around 4 - 7 lbs .... anything smaller than that and your looking at runts of litters (yes some breeders will breed "smaller, teacup" sized dogs, but there is a lot of health risks in having a smaller than average dog).

I'd hold off buying much (maybe a winter coat if your in a cooler climate) until your sure of the size ... check out your local Target for some good quality fair priced winter coats if you need one.
