Simon Cowell has taken his son home from hospital.
The 54-year-old music mogul was seen carrying baby Eric - who was born on Friday (14.02.14) - in a car seat out of New York's Lenox Hill Hospital yesterday (16.02.14), and he, his son and girlfriend Lauren Silverman got into a waiting vehicle, which was believed to have taken them to a nearby hotel.
And the youngster has already settled in at home with his parents' beloved puppies Squiddly and Diddly.
Simon tweeted last night: "The last three days have been incredible. Eric Lauren sqiddly and diddly all happy.(sic)"
Though Eric is just a few days old, insiders say Simon is already a great dad.
One source told The Sun newspaper: "Eric is a lovely baby. He's very calm, sweet and very handsome.
"Simon's loving every minute and won't put little Eric down. He's taken to it like a natural and can't stop smiling."
The 'X Factor' boss has already shared a number of pictures of Eric on his twitter page.
Alongside a picture of himself cradling the little boy into his chest, he wrote: "I never knew how much love and pride I would feel."
And a photograph of himself, Lauren and the baby was captioned:"Mum, Dad and Eric. Now two days old."
Alongside a third picture, just of the baby, he wrote: "Now you can see how very handsome little Eric is."
Simon is expected to return to the UK later this week for the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions.

Kim Kardashian says Kanye West's marriage proposal was the "surprise of a lifetime".
The 'Stronger' hitmaker asked the brunette beauty to be his wife in front of all her loved ones at AT&T Park in San Francisco on her 33rd birthday last October and Kim - who has eight-month-old daughter North with the rapper - later admitted she had no idea what was going to happen.
Speaking on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', which aired the proposal in the US last night (16.02.14), she said: "I'm, like, shaking. It is so crazy to me that this is all happening. Kanye really outdid himself. It feels like I'm in a dream. It's just the most amazing experience. I am the biggest investigator, so the fact that I didn't see one sign of this happening is the surprise of a lifetime."
Kim wasn't the only one impressed by Kanye's proposal, which saw an orchestra play Lana Del Ray's 'Young & Beautiful' as fireworks went off and the words 'Pleease marry meee!' appeared on a screen as the rapper got down on one knee.
Her sister Khloe said: "I really am in a movie right now. This is so spectacular. It's so stunning and breathtaking...it's truly a magical moment."
While Kanye initially wanted a smaller diamond for his fiancee's ring, she was overjoyed with the 15-carat stone.
She said: "It really is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I just can't believe I'm engaged."
Only Kim's mother Kris Jenner knew exactly what Kanye was planning and she was full of praise for her future son-in-law.
She said: "I know first hand the real Kanye. He is a sweetheart with a huge heart for everyone that he loves. He's so many things that I don't think a lot of people get the chance to see."

Rihanna has been offered a settlement of over $10 million in her legal battle against her former accountants.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker had taken action against Peter Gounis and his firm Berdon LLP, claiming their poor financial advice had led to her losing a reported $9 million in 2009, and though she was initially suing for $35 million, the New York Post newspaper claims the firm have offered a settlement and the paperwork to end the case will be signed later this week.
In her claim, Rihanna - whose real name is Robyn Fenty - said the firm advised her to buy a $7 million house, even though they knew she was "bleeding cash".
Her lawyer Edward Estrada wrote in legal documents: "The defendants advised Ms. Fenty by e-mail that purchasing a home in Los Angeles 'would be a good investment' despite knowing Ms. Fenty was experiencing financial difficulties."
The accountant was said to be aware the house was rotting from water and mould damage and needed over $1 million spending on improvements and repair work. The property was later sold at a $2 million loss.
In the lawsuit, Rihanna also claimed her 2009 'Last Girl on Earth' tour was losing money but she was never warned of this by the accountants.
Berdon previously claimed Rihanna's own "financial action or inaction" or those of people working for her caused her to lose money, not their decision-making.
They also dismissed the 'Only Girl in the World' star's previous objection she paid an "above-average" commission of 22 per cent as something she had signed off on herself.
The 25-year-old star is now worth an estimated $43 million.

Michael Fassbender was shot "point blank" when the '12 Years a Slave' cast and crew went paintballing.
The 36-year-old actor admits his role as abusive slave master Edwin Epps in the movie so him targetted by his co-stars when they took part in a light-hearted teambuilding exercise.
Speaking on the red carpet at last night's (16.02.14) BAFTA Awards in London, he said: "We went paintballing, I just remember Chiwetel [Ejiofor] saying my dad said to him 'cover me' and went running."
Asked if his role meant he was singled out, he added to E! News: " got it everywhere, it was like I had hickeys all over my head, I got shot point blank. Some people came with their own gear."
The 'Shame' star was thrilled with his role in the movie as the story had reduced him to tears, and so he had asked his frequent collaborator, director Steve McQueen for any role in the film, even if it was just "a few days" work.
He said: "I knew when I read it it was such an amazing story, it brought me to tears at the end of the read, it was just an extraordinary story, I'd never even heard of this guy Solomon Northup.
"I didn't know anything about him or the book so when Steve passed the script on to me, I just wanted to do anything, even if it was just a couple of days work. I knew it was an important piece then."
Because of the serious subject matter, Michael says the set felt very "intense", which was why the cast and crew regularly socialised together, such as the paintballing day.
He added: "On set the intensity was pretty crazy every day because of the responsibility...[So] we hung out as much as we could, had dinners, there was a lot of trust there."

Harvey Weinstein has revealed Dame Judi Dench has had his name tattooed on her butt.
The 61-year-old film producer worked with Dench on 'Philomena' and as the pair caught up at the BAFTAs on Sunday night (16.02.14) the 79-year-old actress unveiled the body art, which she has had done as a permanent tribute to the film.
Dench showed off her intimate inking to Weinstein and Oprah Winfrey, who acted as a "witness" to prove the tattoo really does exist.
During an appearance on British talk show 'Lorraine', he revealed: 'Philomena' has done well and Dame Judi Dench has had another tattoo, seriously! She did a tattoo years ago and then she dumped me for Kevin Spacey then she dumped him for Johnny Depp and then dumped him for Daniel Craig but because 'Philomena' is doing so well I think she's trying to tell me that there's a chance. Last night, she showed me a tattoo with my name and she flashed Oprah Winfrey - it's on her butt! She is so naughty, and I'm not kidding. Oprah said, 'I'm the witness.' "
Weinstein insists the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, which were held at the Royal Opera House in London, are always a highlight of awards season, and that has a lot to do with host Stephen Fry.
The Weinstein Company founder - who was accompanied to the ceremony by his fashion designer wife Georgina Chapman - was thrilled that 'Philomena' won the Adapted Screenplay prize as he believes the BAFTAs are a good indicator as to what can happen at the Oscars, at which the movie is nominated in four categories.
He said: "First of all (with the BAFTAs) you have the secret weapon that's almost as good anything, anywhere, and that's Stephen Fry. He is the most articulate, funny and sarcastic man. Some of the things he gets away with, in America he'd be in jail for saying half that stuff. Literally the cops would arrest him on stage ... The BAFTAs are extremely important on the way to the Oscars because it all ends with The Oscars - which are the grandfather of all of this. But the British awards really point the way now ... It's all one road leading to the Oscars and this year it's going to be a tight race."

Leonardo DiCaprio admits 'The Wolf of Wall Street' was like "organised chaos".
The 39-year-old actor was nominated for best actor at the BAFTAs last night (16.02.14) for his portrayal of Jordan Belfort in the comedy, but he believes the director Martin Scorsese helped him explore his role in-depth thanks to his choice of set.
He explained to the BBC: "Martin Scorsese really created this set in a really specific way, it was like organised chaos. So we were all kind of living in a giant bosch painting. It was like the modern day Roman empire ... we wanted to make a portrait of our culture today. So it's really thanks to him and this character really took on the life of its own."
The 'Titanic' star first worked with the renowned director on 'The Gangs of New York' followed by 'The Aviator', 'The Departed' and 'Shutter Island' but their relationship became even closer working on their latest project - which took them seven years to bring to the bring screen - but he wasn't expecting to be nominated for the award.
Speaking to E! on the red carpet at London's Royal Opera House, he said: "I don't predict any of these things and have no idea what's going to happen, but to be here with a film like this that takes a lot of chances is an amazing feeling. This is really the second film in my career I got behind and did everything to get made."

Steve McQueen was told by a school teacher he'd never be anything more than a plumber.
The 44-year-old director - who suffers with dyslexia - saw his film '12 Years A Slave' honoured as the Best Film at the BAFTA awards last night (16.02.14), but he admits he was once told he'd only ever make it as a tradesman.
He said: "No one cared. No one invested any time or care into these people -- many very talented -- who they'd marked for manual labour."
The gripping movie tells the true story of black New Yorker Solomon Northup, who was kidnapped in 1841 and sold into slavery, before being subjected to racism by his white "owners".
He added to The Sun newspaper: "I think there is amnesia about this subject and I just wanted to wake people up.
"I'd always thought it would be interesting to do a film about slavery. There were no films about it and I wanted to fill that void and see if I could grapple with it."
While accepting his award last night, McQueen said he hoped the number of people living in slavery would decrease and there would be no need for another film addressing the horrifying issue.
He said: "[There are] 21 million people in slavery now as we sit here. I just hope there will not be another 120 years of ambivalence that allows another filmmaker to make a film like this."

The Black Eyed Peas could soon reform for a world tour.
The 'I Gotta Feeling' hitmakers - will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap and Taboo - are set to record their first studio album since 2010 before heading out on the road.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The Black Eyed Peas are all in agreement that they should put a new tour on for the fans - it's not like they properly split when they parted for a hiatus in 2012.
"This time around they're going to head back into the studio and lay down a new album quickly and then hit the road once again."
Will.i.am, 38, is said to have been "instrumental" in persuading members to get back together, but he's finding it tough to get Fergie on board because she is demanding more for the reunion.
The 38-year-old singer has been spending time with her husband Josh Duhamel and their six-month-old son, Axl, and isn't as keen to tour again.
The source said: "Fergie's been stalling and wants to hold out for as much money as she can guarantee.
"She's got a baby now and needs it to be a very worthy amount to make her take her baby on the road.
"Will knows without Fergie there isn't really a BEP tour so they're willing to pay her more to keep her happy if that's what it takes.
"He just wants to celebrate the career they had and show people they still have what it takes to top the charts with the new music."

Amy Winehouse's earnings have quadrupled since the singer's death.
The 'Black to Black' hitmaker, who died aged 27 of alcohol poisoning at her home in north London in July 2011, has made more cash since her death than she did when she was alive.
New accounts show her Cherry Westfield company, which is managed by her parents Mitch Winehouse and Janis Seaton, made profits of £1.06 million for the 16 months to April 2013, according to The Sun newspaper.
It was a rise from £257,353 recorded from November 2010 until November 2011.
More than 1.7 million copies of 'Back to Black' - the star's critically-acclaimed second album - have been sold since Amy died. It follows similar situations after the deaths of legends Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
The latest figures show the star's company had to pay out nearly £1.4 million but has assets of £2.4 million - including £2.1 million in cash.
Meanwhile, Amy's dad recently said he has forgiven her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who gave the late star her first hit of heroin.
Mitch, 61, is urging him to help others by speaking out about their addiction as he continues to dedicate his time to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
He said: "Blake is the kind of person who we send into schools to talk to kids about the dangers of drugs. He has a story to tell and he could help many hundreds of young people through his story."

Tinie Tempah admits it "felt great" to high-five Britain's Prince William at the BAFTA awards last night (16.02.14).
The 25-year-old rapper opened the glamorous ceremony, held in London, with a duet featuring Mercury Prize nominee Laura Mvula, but during the performance he slapped palms with the future king.
Speaking to the BBC, he said: "It was great, I just saw him there and thought, 'Do you know what? why not?', and it felt great."
The 'Drinking From the Bottle' hitmaker admits his fans went crazy on Twitter after watching the pal-like relationship between him and the 31-year-old royal on television.
He explained: "I've seen my Twitter, it's going crazy at the minute but it was fun. Seriously, like, it was such a memorable performance."
However, Tinie has met the Prince - who has seven-month-old son Prince George with his wife Duchess Catherine - on a number of occasions in the past and insists it wasn't awkward between them, and he felt it was acceptable to do that gesture.
He said: "We've met a couple of times now, so I felt safe. I felt like something bad isn't going to happen. And it was all right and I was happy."

Johnny Depp has been honoured by the Make-Up and Hair Stylists Guild Awards.
The 50-year-old actor received the first-ever Distinguished Artisan award at the ceremony on Saturday (15.02.14) thanks to his appearance-altering roles in movies such as 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and joked about how "ridiculous" he has looked over the years.
After clips were shown of his work, he told the audience at Paramount Studios theatre in Los Angeles: "This is a great honour, but glancing up at the screen I realise what a ridiculous thing I've done.
"I mean seriously, why do they still give me jobs? I've done a lot of things...I should probably apologise for a few, but I won't."
The 'Lone Ranger' star went on to say how much he liked having his face moulded in 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'.
He said:"I found, oddly, that I liked being encased in all of that stuff. I try something different each time as an actor with the amazing help of make-up artists who have made my whole career."
Among those also recognised at the awards - which returned after a 10-year hiatus - were the hair and make-up teams from 'Dallas Buyers Club', 'Behind the Candelabra', 'The Walking Dead', 'American Hustle' and 'Breaking Bad'.

Leonardo DiCaprio feels honoured to have worked with Martin Scorsese.
The 39-year-old actor was nominated for best actor at the BAFTAs last night (16.02.14) for his portrayal of Jordan Belfort in the Scorsese-directed film, 'The Wolf of Wall Street', and admits he feels lucky to have worked with the filmmaker on more than one occasion.
He said: "The truth is I was lucky enough to do one film with him and five is beyond my wildest dreams. He really has the finger on the pulse of our culture and he says something about humanity with his film-making."
The 'Titanic' star first worked with the renowned director on 'The Gangs of New York' followed by 'The Aviator', 'The Departed' and 'Shutter Island' but their relationship became even closer working on their latest project - which took them seven years to bring to the bring screen - but he wasn't expecting to be nominated for the award.
Speaking to E! on the red carpet at London's Royal Opera House, he said: "I don't predict any of these things and have no idea what's going to happen, but to be here with a film like this that takes a lot of chances is an amazing feeling. This is really the second film in my career I got behind and did everything to get made."
Leonardo was up against Tom Hanks for 'Captain Phillips', Christian Bale for 'American Hustle', Bruce Dern for 'Nebraska' and Chiwetel Ejiofor - who took home the coveted prize for his outstanding performance as Solomon Northup in '12 Years a Slave'.
