I have been feeding her some table food sometimes for over a month now. Her favorite to eat throughout the day if she had her way would be her cheerios. Seems like ever since i started her on food she won't take any of her baby jars anymore. She'll still eat her cereal every now and then. She'd rather just eat what were eating. Is she getting enough of what she needs and if not what should i be feeding her?

She "needs" nothing but breastmilk for at least the first year and some studies are showing at least 18 months. There is no reason not to give her table foods, also REAL carrots are more nutritious than jarred carrots which actually have a lot of added water.

Breast milk is nutritionally complete for at least the first year of life. This means that infants can go for at least a year on breast milk alone, without eating any foods, and be nutritionally complete. Offering foods between 6 and 12 months of age is simply for social development and to get infants used to eating.

Check her poop. Does it come out looking exactly the same as it did when it went in? If so, you might need to cook it longer or moosh it some for her.
My son is the same way, I have to talk him into nursing or eating baby food. He's nearly 10 months (on the 20th) and he just eats real people food, whatever iam eating.
He's still growing and getting bigger, so iam pretty sure that its fine.

If she can eat what you eat in small pieces then feed her! Both my boys started eating real food at that age..
