Most babies are not born with knee caps and it can take 2 - 3 months for them to develop.

My cousin is a OB-GYN so I went right to the source (I figure a medical degree should suffice.)
Babies are born with knee caps (the patella) but it is formed from cartilige and is not easily visible on x-rays. Also it is not fully boney until around 3 for girls and 4-5 years for boys.
It does form later in fetal development, maybe that's where people get the 2-3 month time frame.
