The kid is a Star!: Sounds as if you have a budding football or hockey player on your hands! Ha ha! Usually, I recommend helmets on kids until they are about three years old for all the bangs they take on the head but in this case maybe mom should put one on till Jr gets out of diapers! Sounds like a pretty good hit you got so if the symptoms don't abate rapidly (especially nausea) then, visit your doctor.
