I stole the answer in the IRS FAQ.
My son was born on December 31st. Can I claim him as a dependent? If so, will he be also qualified for the Child Tax Credit?
If your child was born alive during the year, and the exemption tests are met, you may take the full exemption. You may be entitled to a Child Tax Credit for him. Please refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information. Please Refer to the Form 1040 Instructions for information about the Child Tax Credit.

Yes you can. I have heard stories that people have c-sections on or near December 31st so they can claim there child for that tax year. It's crazy!
