As long as a child is born before midnight on Dec 31, she can be claimed as a dependent for that year.

congratulations on your new addition. you may claim her for 2006 even if born on december 31, 2006 at 11:59 p.m. she would have been able to be claimed ,some of the tax benefits you may be entitled to are ....as a qualifying child,(if applicable) a dependent, she also counts for child tax credit (if eligible), earned income credit (if eligible) additional child credit (if eligible) dependent and child care credit (if applicable) the only time requirement a parent must meet to claim a new child is a social security number for that child at the time the return is filed.

You must claim in the taxation year following the birth. In your case, that will be 2007 for 2006 taxes.
