I think I can answer this since I have all boys and 2 of my 3 learned to read very early. My youngest reader was about 23 months when he started. He read very well, very early, however, that reading ability turned into more of an insane math ability. Today his reading is really very good (4th or 5th grade level), he is only 6, but his math ability is somewhere up in the highschool range. His younger brother seems to be following the same pattern. I don't know if that's typical, but its certainly what has happened with mine so far.

Sounds like you have a very smart lil guy on your hands!
