From MadSci:
"Newborns do have kneecaps, Cathy. Kneecaps form about the fourth month of fetal life. However, they don’t show up on x-ray very well because they’re not ossified, or bony. At this point in life, the kneecaps are made of a cartilaginous material. The growth centers surrounding the kneecap form late in developmental life in utero and may not appear until just before or just after the infant is born. "

Yuh, they don't ossify (form the bone) until later in their babyhood.
