Those sound like swollen lymph nodes, which may be common in infants because their immune system is not well-established yet. Don't get too worked up about it yet, until you get some tests done

It isn't normal, but kids that age average about an infection a month (a bit less in breast-fed babies that don't go to day-care), so it's hardly unusual, either. Mothers of small children are supposed to spend much of their time worried; it's the way of the world.

Not normal but need not be very serious. Healed infection in ear and hair follicles of the head could have caused them.
