If your LO is enjoying solids and doing well, and still getting the appropriate amount of milk, then you can try some lumpier foods and also increasing the amounts.  There is no real rule as to how much to offer your LO, however since milk is the most important source of nutrition until a year you want to make sure they are still getting enough milk before adding more solids.  :)

Here is a link that gives a good idea of how much milk your baby should be getting after starting solids:  http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=57483.0
