I have heard of other Yorkies ears becoming fully erect by the age of 4 months...so maybe that will be the case with Daisy also.
I agree...Daisy's ears look like they want to stand. I would say to leave them until about 4 months and then tape them if they do not (if you want them to stand, that is). I have heard that if they do not stand by 6 months, they probably won't. I don't know how accurate that is, I have just been told that a few times. So..I chose to tape Maggies. Her were completely floppy, not standing in the slightest. I'm sure Daisy's will. Have you trimmed the hair on the ears? (I will have to look at the pics again ) But supposedly, taking all the hair off the top 1/3 of the ear helps encourage them to stand as well.
