Well it depends on what you mean by ageing. A baby's skull grows as its brain develops, so in respect, yes the cranium largens. At a certain point in time though, the brain is fully developed (around puberty, like 12-ish) and will not continue to grow. The cranium therefore stops expanding and your head doesn't get any bigger until you die.

Yes. It does. From the time you are a baby, until you are an adult. Good Luck ! :)
