Have twin one year olds, need advice

I am curious about feeding for my twins. I have had feeding issues (with solid food) with one twin so I work with that when I feed them. this is a sample feeding schedule for them right now

7 am- 6 ounce formula

8:30 am- 1/2 cup of baby cereal mixed with formula and one fruit jar of baby food per baby

12:30 pm- lunch- this is either carrot muffins, noodle kugel, pizza, noodles (the twin with eating issues usually doesnt eat the macaroni, yogurt, or adult oatmeal with yogurt...

1:30 pm- 4 ounces formula

5:30 pm- dinner- meatloaf, pizza, chicken, noodles, or kugel

6:30 pm- dinner bottle- 4 ounces of formula-

is this normal for a one year old? 3 formula feedings a day? they also dont drink anything but formula which is concerning as it is the summer- they dont use sippy cups really altho I keep offering. these are a list of all the foods they can eat..its very minimal..is this normal? is it ok to feed them almost the same things all the time? I give them snacks but they only eat sweet crackers or cheeri0s- no pieces of fruit or vegis...

im a first timer and I am wondering what goes on with everyone elses one year olds....

I'd try to include more vegetables and fruits. They don't like any fresh summer fruits, like watermelon or melon chunks? No cooked veggies from chicken soup? Sweet potato?

my 13 month old also drinks lots of formula bottles throughout the day but as you noted, they only take 4 ounces at a time like he does. he can't tolerate too much food at a time. rather small feedings more often.....
