In my experience; once you accept a job offer you need to show you can handle it for a minimum 6-12 months before you start talking about raises. Prior to that, you are still in the trial period, and you accepted the job at the salary you currently make.
Once you are over a year, and particularly with your situation where the job is significantly more than advertised, then I'd say go for it. When you ask your boss for a raise, start with how much you believe you've helped the company and have specific things you've accomplished ready to be covered if needed. You have a number in mind, but be sure to have what you are willing to accept in your head as well. You may ask for 13% and they may counter with 6%. You need to know if 6% is acceptable or if you need 8% to stay on-board; so you can negotiate clearly.
from the sound of things, it doesn't seem like you'll have much trouble.
