Sorry have quoted your msg so it's in front of me. Please just let me tell you that I am certainly no expert re feeding as had and have a picky toddler who has just started eating well alabeit not much variety but is now asking for food :-)
First off I would say 4 bottles are at least 1 if not 2 too many at 13 months. I would give solids before the 11 am bottle, and I would make this your protein based meal so chicken or fish or meat and give as much as your baby will take, for the time being I would give milk from bottle after but you should really aim to have this in a sippy cup but one bottle at a time to go.
I would get rid of the 3 pm bottle and use this as snack time but nothing really heavy, maybe some yogurt or crackers with a drink of water from a sippy cup or some well diluted juice. This would also be an ideal time to introduce finger foods like breadsticks, pieces of fruit, cheese etc.
I would then make dinner time around 5 or 5.30 pm, as much as you little one will take and leave some time for finger foods if you like, maybe put some on the tray when you are cleaning up. I am not sure if you want to change bed time but if your little one is still in the high chair at 7.45 pm I am guessing bed time is not before at least 8.30? If you want to move bed time earlier then I would suggest your last bottle about half an hour before bed time. If night time sleep has become erratic I would think it's due to over tiredness and suggest a bed time of no later than 7.30 pm.
Hope this is of some help,
Fiona
