Help with command to find all newly created files in a given time period

Hi all!

Can someone please help me create a command to accomplish the following task.

I have a parent directory called ex. /var/www/parent and it has a bunch of sub-directories called /var/www/parent/1, var/www/parent/1/xyz/ and etc.

What I would like to do is to count the number of files created in a given time-period, in my example December 2009.

The final result should allow me to proudly proclaim something along the lines of "In December 2009 there were X new files created in my "parent" directory".

Thank you in advance.

touch -t 200912010000 dummy1
touch -t 200912312359 dummy1
find /var/www/parent \( -newer dummy1 -a  ! -newer dummy2 \) -type f | wc -l

Perfect, thank you very much!
