  I think the skull, as in newborns we have two gaps which fuse early in childhood

  I think (but certainly not an expert on this) that this fusing occurs in most of your bones as you get older, up to the mid-twenties. When you are a baby you have lots of small bones and cartilage which then fuse together to make the adult bone.
