A mother was left stunned when her baby's first word turned out to be Alexa.
Annabelle Gates, 11 months, became obsessed with the Amazon device after spending hours watching her three-year-old brother Lucas play with it.
Her parents Catherine and Liam waited for her first word, expecting it to be the usual 'mama' or 'dada'.
But to their bewilderment little Annabelle came out with 'Alexa' instead.

Her mother Catherine, 26, of Blandford Forum, Dorset, told The Sun: 'We started using it with the kids to play nursery and rhymes and Baby Shark, which Annabelle loves.
'Lucas worked out how to use it himself and Annabelle always copies him.
'But it's definitely not what we expected her first word to be - she's such a modern baby.'
