Bump on head yesterday, now sleeping a lot - should I be concerned?

Hi all, yesterday my little 9 month old took a tumble onto his toddle truck (wooden, with wooden bricks in it). I wasn't in the room as my friend was watching him, but my friend didn't see exactly what happened... (some good he was doing watching him then! ).

Anyway, he's bumped his head a good few times as all babies do, and has never seemed bothered. Yes, he cries a bit but soon stops and seems fine. Yesterday he cried after letting out a loud yelp - an unusual sound for him - and today he has two little bruises on his forehead.

Last night he slept through for the FIRST TIME EVER, and today he seems a little subdued and sleepy.

Should I be concerned about the two little bruises and his sleepiness? He seemed fine yesterday in the hours that followed the bump, it's just the sleepiness and bruises...

Any ideas?

I would have him checked over for peace of mind.
