As an infant grows the plates start to merge and fit together similar to jigsaw pieces in a puzzle. By the age of 2, infants plates should be completely fused together as a single piece.

Furthermore, he only found fragments of the vases in the sand. Courageously, he selected one single shard, the size of his palm, and voyaged to the royal emissary. Tree-ear’s traits developed into intelligence, maturity and
