Baby Eric is heading home!

Simon Cowell and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman left Lenox Hill Hospital and took their newborn baby boy back to their hotel Sunday, two days after they welcomed their first child together on Valentine's Day.

The 54-year-old new dad was snapped carrying his little one in a stroller, rocking shades and a chic navy overcoat as Silverman walked by his side.

Cowell hasn't been able to stop gushing over Eric since his arrival, sharing photos of the couple's adorable son on Twitter Sunday.

"Mum, Dad and Eric. Now two days old," the X Factor judge captioned a black and white shot of him, Silverman and Eric laying in bed at the New York City hospital.

"He followed that up with, "now you can see how very handsome little Eric is," posting another precious pic of Eric resting.

E! News broke the story that the couple welcomed their first child together Friday, with Cowell later revealing the baby's name on Twitter.

"Very happy to say Eric was born at 17.45pm. Healthy and handsome," he tweeted, adding, "Lauren in great shape. Thanks for all of your kind messages."

The duo named their son after Cowell's father, Eric Selig Phillip Cowell, who died in 1999.
