My daughter was born in april. do I put down she lived with me the whole year or for 8 months.

You get to put down the WHOLE YEAR for a child born during the year (even born on Dec 31).  So be sure to pick the whole year.

Yes. Even if she was born at 11:59pm on Dec 31 of the tax year, the IRS says you claim them for the entire year.
