Question
Hello- I just got an almost 3 month old male yorkie, and all he seems to want to do is lay in my arms or sleep-he seldom jumps around or plays. Is this normal?

Answer
I'd have the vet take a look at him. Pups of that age are usually more energetic. You shouldn't let him spend too much time in your arms or on your lap. Get him a bed and teach him to lay there. Otherwise you could have separation anxiety and dominance issues in the future.
