Why did Bob never spot Bonnie growing?
LostInTime:
I think it's an upcoming plot point. Bob is not aware of Bonea. Alfred, Molly, Mab and Maggie are the only ones aware of Bonea. Molly isn't aware of Bob. The last is important because Mab is on the lookout for our favorite skull-resident letch.
Monkez:
Who says Bob never spotted Bonnie growing? Who's to say that Mab didn't visit Bob and specifically threaten Bob to stay quiet? And before anyone says that Mab cannot cross over Harry's threshold, Harry has been in her debt from before Harry picked up Lasciel's coin. Mab can go where she wants and do what she wants. That's why she was able to take Harry's boomstick in Small Favor.
There is no indication that Bob is fae. He is able to lie as well as evade, misdirect and intentionally misinterpret questions. So long as Harry never directly asked "Hey Bob, do you see an entity that is technically my offspring growing in my skull?", Bob could argue he never lied. Heck, are we even sure that Mab is really after Bob? The only reason why we know that Mab wants to find Bob is because Bob said so. For all we know, Bob could be a mole under the control of Leanansidhe (and thus Mab) when Lea helped Harry defeat DuMorne. Remember, we only know what Harry knows. :)
The fact that Bob asked for a backup skull right around the time when Bonea would need a place of her own to occupy is highly suspect and way too much of a coincidence. In my opinion, this is an example of Bob helping Harry (and maybe passively resisting Mab's instructions) without Harry being aware of it.

There is certainly no textial basis for Mab warning Bob not to speak of Bonnie.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Maybe Bob did, but didn’t say anything because he wasn’t asked.

We don't know that Mab really wants Bob gone, although I tend to read it that he sincerely believes she does.
I think she's perfectly happy to see him making her vassal smarter and stronger, so long as he's afraid enough of her to keep his head down and his mouth shut about what Halloween means to immortals. Her whole scheme in CD depended on Harry getting the information he needed to know from Bob, though ... it falls apart without him.
