What is your 6 month old eating?

I feel like a FTM here again, but I can't for the life of me remember what my DS did for food at this age, so please help.
My DD just started solid this week and will be 6 months in a week. I started sweet potatoes on Thursday, starting with 1 T. and moving up from there. She was up to 1/2 jar on Monday. Today at child care, she became very upset when her 1/2 jar was gone so the teacher called and I saidtogo ahead and give her the rest (2.5 oz total). Tonight again, she seemed very upset while the rest of us were eating and kept trying to grab our food.
My question is, what type of feeding schedule are you/ were you doing at this age? I don't want to overfeed her, but also don't want her to be hungry if she wants more solids. She is still doing between 26-30 oz of formula a day, so I don't think she really needs more formula. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

She has been eating since 4 months, and she will be 6 months on Saturday. This is our schedule give or take an hour.
I should note, I do homemade baby food, hence the "cube"
