The New York Times reports that boys are starting puberty earlier than they did in the past. Some boys are starting as early as 9 years old. Earlier puberty in girls has already been noted by scientists, because puberty is more easy to notice in girls.
The article said that the early stages of puberty in boys is harder to pick up. The changes in voice actually come at the later stages of puberty. The early sign is when their testicles double in size. I can't wait to ask Jonah over dinner if he noticed whether or not his balls have doubled in size yet. I bet he'll love that.

I think you should tell him that you’re going to institute a bi-weekly weighing and measuring session, with results posted on the blog.

The pediatrician checks that in the annual physical so I think you’re off the hook and don’t need to quiz him…
I know this sounds a little crazy and I didn’t raise my kids organic or anything like that, but I never trusted disposable diapers and didn’t use them. It didn’t seem like a good idea to have plastic and whatever those chemicals are, right next to their genitals. My kids both had very late puberty, which is a problem in itself, and of course not attributable necessarily to the diapers. But I wonder if it’s been studied; probably.
Wish I knew back then to avoid cooking with teflon pans. I didn’t think of that one.
