Don't blend the food if your baby can eat 爛飯. he need to practice. Just need to make sure that the thing he eat is soft enough. Cook longer and add more water. For the experience, since my baby is easily vomit, while eating solid food he will eaily vomit. Therefore we blend the food for him. He is now already 2 years old but is still eating blend food for his meal. So if you baby can eat just give him the solid food. Otherwise if you blend it now. Later he may dislike the unblended food.
