My new echeveria has a little baby growing so how should I propagate this cause I’m new to plants and should I even propagate it?

I say chop and prop the baby off, you can cut it off and let it callous over and stick it in a succulent mix type of dirt. The pic is where to cut  
you can also twist the bottom leaves off and then were you plucked them off can grow roots (you can just throw the peddles in dirt after that callous over where they were pulled off) let me know if you need to know more!!!!

You could propagate it now but I think I would give it a little time.
