The Rocket Man singer and civil partner DAVID FURNISH could not hide their joy as they posed with tiny Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, born on Christmas Day.
Elton, 63, has revealed he was present at the birth and watched the baby "shoot out".
Speaking at his Los Angeles home, he told OK! magazine: "He shot out like a rocket. There just aren't proper words to describe that feeling. It's indescribable. It was just, 'We have a son'!"
Zachary was mothered by a surrogate, but Elton and 48-year-old David are the youngster's legal parents.
Yet the multi-millionaire rocker emphasised the child would not be spoilt. He added: "I'm ready to have a child and lavish my love on our son and not spoil him."
Elton and David "wed" in 2005 after 12 years together and set their hearts on becoming fathers after a trip to a Ukraine orphanage. The identity of Zachary's biological father remains unknown.
It is believed the mother was implanted with an egg taken from a second woman and fertilised by one of the fathers.
The pregnancy was kept a closely-guarded secret, with Sir Elton and David only announcing they were parents in the New Year.
It is believed a financial settlement was reached with the mother, and that she will have no part in raising little Zachary.
David and Elton also made it clear that they would not give up on 26-month-old Ukrainian orphan Lev and his HIV-positive brother Artyom, four, whom they attempted to adopt.
The country does not recognise same-sex marriages and its laws deem Elton too old to legally care for the child.
But he has vowed to at least help the youngsters financially - and has not given up on finding them a loving home.

SIR ELTON JOHN has posed for his first public photograph with his newborn son for a U.K. magazine, and revealed he was present throughout the birth.
The Rocket Man and his partner David Furnish welcomed a son called Zachary on Christmas Day (25Dec10) via a surrogate mother, a year after they were denied the chance to adopt a tot from the Ukraine.
After a month of being new dads, the couple has now posed for a family portrait for Britain's OK! magazine, showing off their tiny tot, who is seen wearing a miniature pair of dungarees.
The superstar also confirmed he was present at the birth, and couldn't believe how fast his child arrived into the world.
He tells the magazine, "He shot out like a rocket. There just aren't proper words to describe that feeling. It's indescribable. It was just, 'We have a son!'"
And the singer admits he broke down in tears when they brought their baby home for the first time, he adds, "People ask, 'Did you cry (during the birth)? You must have been so emotional?' And I say no, because it was all so quick. When I cried was when we brought him home Monday morning at 8.30am. We hadn't had time to celebrate Christmas yet. We had a big tree, all the presents, and I said to David, put on some carols... As soon as it started, and I was holding Zachary in my arms, I cried."

Zachary was born via a surrogate mother and Elton as well as David have said that they would not reveal further about the surrogacy arrangements. Yet, the British singer was willing to share to the publication his feeling when witnessing the baby's birth. "He shot out like a rocket. There just aren't proper words to describe that feeling. It's indescribable. It was just, 'We have a son'!" he said at Los Angeles home.
On how he will raise his son, Elton stated, "I'm ready to have a child and lavish my love on our son and not spoil him." The 63-year-old performer might even have taught the newborn baby how to share to those in need since the very beginning as he and David will donate all fees received from the interview and pictures of Zachary to charity.
