What does your 8 month old typically eat/drink throughout the day?

My daughter wakes up around 7 and has about 1 oz of banana with 2 T (dry) baby cereal moistened with boiled and cooled water followed by a 6 oz bottle of breastmilk and/or formula at around 8:00.
Another 6 oz bottle around 11:00.
Lunch at about 1:00 of 1-2 oz yogurt with 1 oz of fruit and 2 oz of veggies, followed by another 6 oz bottle at 2.
Another 6 oz bottle at 5:00 and dinner at around 6 of 2-3 oz veggie and either 1-2 oz of fruit or cereal, sometimes both if she’s hungrier than usual. She gets a little bit of boiled and cooled water with each meal, maybe an oz or 2.
And the last bottle @ 8-ish, 6-8 oz then bed.
Just want to make sure I’m on the right track, not under or over feeding. Her weight is fine, not too chubby (if that’s possible) or thin. Also I’m thinking of giving her 4- 8 oz bottles per day rather than 5- 6 oz bottles but 4 hours in between bottle seems like a long time without something to drink.
Oh yeah. She very active too. Took her first steps 2 weeks ago but has been crawling and cruising for 2 months+.
