Flashback to 5 years ago.......

SHANIA GIVES BIRTH - IT'S A BOY!

Shania Twain and husband Mutt Lange are the parents of a baby boy!

The baby, named Eja, was born on Sunday, August 12 and everyone is reported to be doing well.

No details about the family's new arrival were released -- not surprising, given the veil of secrecy that surrounded the original reports and rumors of Twain's pregnancy, which was confirmed in March.

According to the website www.Kabalarians.com , the name Eja (pronounced like "Asia") describes someone who has a "quiet, reserved, serious, studious nature," and a person who "has sensitivity and appreciation for the finer and deeper things of life, the beauties of nature, music, art and literature."

In other Shania news, the Shania Twain Centre in Timmins is holding an event to celebrate Shania's 36th birthday. Fans who attend can sign a birthday card, sing Happy Birthday, and even eat free birthday cake. Although Shania will not be at the event, the card and a video of the festivities will be sent to her at her home in Switzerland.

.....And yes - Shania cooks!

"It's one of the things I really enjoy," she says. "For the first few months after Eja was born, I made all of his baby food from scratch. I make dinner most every evening. I'm very careful about what I eat - Mutt and I are both vegetarians - so I'm just more comfortable if I do most of the cooking myself."

Shania is equally strict about the baby's diet - unhealthy snacks and sweets are definitely out. There was one notable exception: Eja's first birthday this past Aug. 12. To mark the occasion, Shania baked her specialty, a double-layer chocolate cake. "That was really his first time to have any kind of unnatural sweets," Shania says.

She laughs as she recalls Eja's reaction to his birthday treat. "We got out a video camera, so we could film him in his little party hat," Shania recalls. "We were waiting for this great Kodak moment, where he smooshes his face in the cake and it gets all over his hair.

"But he is such a neat and tidy eater! He just touched the cake a little bit, tasted it and decided he didn't want any more," she giggles. "So I never got the Kodak moment!"

...Music is a favorite family activity, though. Shania and Mutt delight in watching little Eja react to sounds and rhythms.

Shania's comments seem to portray a laid-back approach. Normally in charge, Shania allowed Mutt to choose their child's name. Eja is pronounced"Asiah" and means "Angel." "It is East Indian-influenced. It was short; it was interesting; and Mutt picked it. I can't believe it! I'm such a control freak, usually. I thought for sure I was going to pick the name."


I think this is from the Redbook interview.

She says, "Having a child and becoming a mom is probably the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. It's really changed me and the way I look at the world. Eja comes everywhere with me, even when we're on the road, because I want to be with him all the time.

"But, unfortunately, I can't write music when he's around because I can't focus at all. He demands my complete attention. I find it impossible to divide my attention between him and my work. I can't be playing with him and writing, or changing his diaper and writing. -Shania


Mutt and Eja:
"At this point in my life, the space is just there, and he (Eja) came into our life, and nothing has had to change". Almost nothing.
Lange, one of the most noted producers in rock, is now the comsumate house husband, tirelessly doting over Eja while Twain plays pop star. In Melbourne this week, Lange was in the entourage, strictly behind the scenes, fiercely guarding his and Eja's privacy. "Mutt is a great dad, very helpful in many ways. I cook, he cleans, and we are just a good team. He's great with the baby, and he's been there from the very first day. Hands on, all the way". Twain says her eyes sparkling............"Mutt exists, we have wedding photos, and he is in them." Twain says. "It's almost as if this whole privacy thing is working against him, because he is famous for not wanting to be famous. Very ironic".
.......
"Mutt and I live very low profile lives., we don't seek the spotlight, unless it's something to do directly with my music."
"As a family, we don't look for photo opportunities, and have not allowed ourselves to be part of the tabliod soap scene. That spares us a lot of unnecessary exposure."



Raising Eja:
"I want to instill in Eja, honesty and humility" Twain says "I want him to stay down to earth, and stay real".
"Those things are so important to me because you never know what is going to happen in this world. You never know if you're going to have money from one day to the next. You have to be prepared to live in the real world. "I don't want to raise him thinking he's protected from the rest of the world. That would not be right."


All the above are from the quote thread.
