Yes, If it happened in 2006 it happened in 2006. My friend got married on Dec 30 of 2004 and it was the same as if he was married all year. Same with babies born in 2006.

Yes, you can file jointly and for the entire year. You only need to be married on the last day of the year and it'll count.
According to the IRS, you are considered married for the whole year if on the last day of your tax year you and your spouse meet any one of the following tests.
- You are married and living together as husband and wife.
- You are living together in a common law marriage that is recognized in the state where you now live or in the state where the common law marriage began.
- You are married and living apart, but not legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance.
- You are separated under an interlocutory (not final) decree of divorce. For purposes of filing a joint return, you are not considered divorced.
