I believe the plant in the first photo is Malva parviflora, Cheeseweed. Very prolific weed.

If you haven't planted Shasta Daisies in the second photo, then it's probably a common dandelion. There are several species of Krigia so it's difficult to tell which at this stage.

There is a possibility that it could be a Texas dandelion.

This one is interesting in that the flowers close mid-morning and produce huge gorgeous seed heads
