Simon Cowell has posted a picture of himself and his son wearing matching sunglasses. Presumably it'll be the first of many such postings.

The music mogul took to his Twitter yesterday to show that six-month-old Eric is already following in his fashion footsteps by wearing aviator-style shades. Here they are, posing in their Ray Bans while soaking up the sun on what appears to be a luxury yacht.

We'll start to worry if Simon starts posting photos of Eric with a pair of brush heads/peat briquettes superglued to his little bonce.

The 54-year-old star welcomed his first child (with his most recent girlfriend, 37-year-old Lauren Silverman) into the world on Valentine's Day, and has been posting a number of images of the adorable tot on the social networking site ever since. This is one of our favourites.

For all the photos of Eric, there are treble the amount featuring Simon's beloved dogs, Squiddly and Diddly. Their most recent photo shoot taking place on a sandy beach in Miami, Florida. They may or may not have licked Eric's face afterwards.
