Is Madeleine a Baby Boomer?

My dad drew my attention to the following news from the Associated Press this week.

"The U.S. is experiencing a 'baby boomlet,' with 4.3 million births reported in 2006, the largest number recorded since 1961, the AP/Lexington Herald-Leader reports (Stobbe, AP/Lexington Herald-Leader, 1/16). According to a report released last month by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, a 2% rise in births in 2006 put the nation's overall fertility rate over the replacement rate for the first time since 1971 (Daily Women's Health Policy Report, 12/6/07)."

Some of our friends (you know who you are!) have definitely done their fair share to contribute to these numbers!
