That sounds perfectly fine to me. At 8 months, they should be starting to move in the direction of finger foods and self-feeding anyway, so what if you just gave her some foods to play with and sat back and didn't worry if she ate anything? There really is no rule about when they should be eating such and such amount of food. It's all about exploration, at least until a year, and even then there's a lot of variation and flexibility into the toddler years. At 8 months, we had just started to really do 3 meals a day every day, but we did BLW so the amount she actually ate really varied. At around 9 ish months, she hit about 4 weeks when she was fairly unwell with bronchiolitis, and she had no real interest in most food. She pretty much ate only yogurt and fruit for a month. No big deal. At 10 months, she went back to eating everything and the amount of food she was eating really picked up. We didn't add in snacks until maybe about 10/11 months, when we added in an afternoon snack along with a small amount of milk still. She wasn't having 3 meals and 2 snacks until probably 13-14 months, which I think is pretty normal for many babies. I would say try not to worry about it at this point. Offer lots of different things, start offering her the chance to feed herself too, and trying finger foods, and pretty much just sit back and let it happen. It will. And as long as she's still getting plenty of milk when she wants it, she'll be getting all she needs nutritionally until she's ready to eat more food.
