THe mom and father are 5 and 7 lbs.. she's now just about 12 weeks, and she's over 5lbs. She eats like her 3 meals a day and gets a treat for pottying outside, aside from that she's gets nothing else, no table food or anything and i'm just wondering if she's already 5 lbs, what the heck is going on here.

shes doubled in all dimensiosn in 4 weeks, is this possible for a yorkie?

They say the rule of thumb is...triple the weight at 8 weeks or double the weight at 12 weeks..I checked out the chart for you but, couldn't find your babies weight on it...TO ME...it looks like she is going to be between 8 and 10 lbs...but, I am no expert either..I think alot has to do with the weight of the parents and/or grandparents. You just never know how big they will get.
