That is fantastic your DD is eating really well. She is still getting her milk intake she needs so don't worry to much. My DD has always been a great eater and when she isn't teething still is.

Okay had to modify/edit my post, I didn't realize there were scroll bars and wanted to make sure everyone saw what she ate, because it kept cutting off the last meal of bottle.  Fixed now.

I agree with pp.  My LO is 8.5 months old and he is still getting a bottle 5 times a day (about 6oz each or 30oz per day) and is getting 2 meals per day.  Portion sizes of his meals are 1/2 cereal with fruit or veggies mixed with meat.  Sometimes I wonder if he's getting enough or not getting enough but as along as he gets his formula intake, I'm not going to worry about.  LO will let you know if they are hungry or not, so that should give you an idea if she's had enough or not.
