Is The Weight Of My Baby Normal For His Age?

Hi good day. I just wanted to know if my baby boy's weight is normal for 8 months old. He just turned 8 this dec 5 and his weight is 8.4 kg. is it good or bad?
And also my concern about his food and milk that he is eating. How much formula milk a day and how much solid food my baby should eat. He can drink 3-4x 4-5 oz a day and for solid food cerelac 5 tablespoon 2-3x a day. Is he eating good? Thank you. :)
