I think you’re right! 😊 That looks like a basal shoot (or basal pup) starting to emerge. It’s basically a new growth point coming from the base of the plant, which is a really good sign that your Monstera is happy.  
I’d just leave it alone and let it grow. Over time it’ll produce its own leaves and make the plant look fuller. Just keep giving your Monstera bright, indirect light and your normal care routine.

Awesome, will do just that and track her new growth - thanks so much!
