Actually yes! Patella or kneecap is present in infants like other bones of human. But it is at first more cartilaginous and then ,after birth, gradually during the ossification it will change to a complete bone. The place of this bone is constant.

Find an Anatomy book to reference, all of them should tell you about this. (Skeletal System Chapter)
The patella is not formed until about 4-6 years of age.
