Early Puberty In Boys

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.
