I don't know how I came across this.

I was expecting a home movie of a baby's delivery but pitch-shifted into G-major.

This gives me a good idea for my upcoming art project.

If I recall correctly when they are born human babies skulls are separate plates that slide underneath one another in order to make the head less wide and thus ease the birthing process. Eventually the plates fuse together to form the complete skull.

This is one reason why they say adults have fewer bones than children, the plates when unfused are counted as individual bones.

I have heard of that (don't babies have a small spot where either a piece of skull is floating or there isn't any bone at all? It's a 'soft spot' and they tell you to never touch it), but I thought the skull would return to a normal shape when the baby left the womb.

four spots, actually, called fontanelles. Two major (the anterior and posterior) and two minor (the sphenoid and mastoid). They're there to ensure that the bony plates of the skull can flex during the childbirth process, and thus help the baby's head pass through the birth canal. They also account for the rapid growth and development of the brain during the early years of life, and all of them close at ~19 months of age.
Oh, before I forget, they can be used to take ultrasound imaging of an infant's brain during that time, though of course once closed the only means of imaging is via CT/MRI scans
