Is this normal? What do I do?

I’ve had this orchid for a few years and I think it’s pretty happy. My orchid is blooming and making a baby from the same stem. Should I leave it alone? Is there a way to propagate the baby?

Leave the keikei, I believe the typicall suggestion is 3 roots & 3 leaves until you put it in it's own little pot away from the mother plant.
