Maybe slightly, but watch the soft spot over the next few days. If it sinks in more that is a sign of dehydration and you need to take you baby to the doctor.

Yes, this is normal, and so is seeing it pulse. . The anterior fontanel ("soft spot") will be there until your baby is about 12-16 months old. There are actually two, but the top one is the one we are most familiar with.
