Yes and no. In a human baby, the bones in the baby's head haven't finished fusing together into a full skull.

I think that this is true. However, adults have certain bones that babies don't have. They're called sesamoid bones that arise over time due to constant pressure placed on those parts of the body (ie, the knee cap).

Yes. The extra bones (most of them in the skull) fuse as they get older, usually by age 2.
Interesting factoid: most newborns don't have kneecaps.

Yes, but only because many of them fuse together and later form single bones where there were once many.
