Am I feeding her enough?

At almost 9 months Brenna is eating lunch (most days but not all) which is usually some Gerber dices (either peaches or green beans) and a handfull of the Gerber Puffs and then she eats a whole jar of stage 3 food at dinner time. She'll also have a cracker here and there throughout the day but doesn't actually eat much of it.
Is that Okay? Is it normal or do I need to start feeding her a third meal at the table? She seems happy and isn't acting hungry but I worry that if I'm going to get her off the bottle on or around 12 months than her eating needs to progress.

If you offer her more food does she eat it? I'd just start offering her more stuff. She might not be hungry but maybe start giving her less in the bottle and she'll be hungrier I'm probably a bad one to answer since I haven't a clue yet about that stuff

Mine never ate a ton of table food til after a year. Even now Lyssa probably eats one real meal a day. Kate will eat anything I give her. From what i fed mine I would say you're doing good.

Ok here is another question to go along with this...
At 9 months is it okay for her to still go some days with nothing but formula? It doesn't happen often but there have been days when I'm just too busy and spend a lot of time in the car and she'll only have bottles and maybe a few crackers.

I don't really remember the amounts, but I do think that by the time my kids were 9 months, there were definitely eating some type of table food every day. We were on the road a lot when TJ was around that age and we used to pack all sorts of those Gerber finger foods, crackers, pudding, applesauce, etc. The way he scarfed things down, it usually only took a few minutes to feed him something.

I'm sure it probably won't hurt her doing just formula, but may not help your other issue of trying to get her eating more table food to wean her???
