8 month old decreased interest in bottles?

DD is almost 8 months old, hard to believe!

Here is my predicament...I have recently weaned.  Before that, she was eating 2 bottles of formula a day and the rest breastmilk.  She probably ate about 28 oz a day plus some tastes of cereal and fruits/veggies.

I have upped her solid intake to 3 meals a day.  Cereal + fruit for breakfast, a veggie for lunch and cereal for dinner.

The upping of solids plus the weaning have caused a MAJOR disinterest in bottles.  I have noticed that she is now eating about 17-19oz in a 24 hour period.  She used to drain bottles and now just snacks on them.  I called the ped and they said it seemed okay, but that I should keep my eye on it if it dips much below that.

Did anyone else's LOs show a decreased interest in liquids around this age?

    It's hard to remember but DD loves food so much she did this, but I think she was 10 or 11 months when she cut down below 20oz. It could be temporary, as she adjusts. I would either wait it out, up the food intake or maybe try a sippy cup and see how she does.
