Narrative:

Location: mia. Mia departure assigned us 7000 ft. I was distraction checking FMC, saw aircraft pass 7000 ft and leveled aircraft and returned to 7000 ft. No known conflicts. Supplemental information from acn 426660: I was distraction from backing up the captain while looking for a frequency to report our position to havana center. I had planned on having that frequency standing by before we taxied from the gate.
