Hello!
"In the skeleton of the adult there are 206 distinct bones"

Osteology -- Development of the Skeleton
http://www.bartleby.com/107/17.html

"At birth, the human body contains ~270 bones. This number declines
slightly during infancy as a few separate segments join to form single
bones. From young childhood through puberty, the bone count increases
as wrist and ankle bones develop. Post-adolescence, the bone count
steadily declines again with the gradual union of independent bones"
