I don't know if it's time to tape them for support or if I should wait a bit longer. If I should tape, how do I do that? Not that I mind having him with floppy ears, but I REALLY want them to stand!! What a bad momma I am..

Yes, if they're not standing on their own now you should tape them.
What I do is roll the ear into a little devil's horn and wrap white adhesive tape around the base of the ear. Each ear individually.
Here's another method:

Another thing.. I had mentioned before his weight, and some had said he was a little small for his age. He went to the vet 3 days before his 14 week birthday and weighed in at 11.5 pounds. I know he should be well into 14 pounds by now, but he's not thin or anything. He eats like a little piggy and I give him plenty of food. I'm not too awful worried as I may just end up with a smaller corgi.

Yup, sounds like he's just going to be on the small side. If he's healthy and not thin then don't worry about him.
