In an astonishing incident, this family from the United Kingdom was left dumbfounded when their baby girl spoke her first word and it wasn't 'mommy' or 'daddy. Catherine Gates (26), from Blandford Forum, Dorset, was recently taken aback when she heard her 11-month-old daughter, Annabelle, utter her first word.

Catherine Gates, mother of two narrates the incident, instead of "mama" or "dada", their daughter chose to say "Alexa". Yes, we are talking about the Amazon Echo's "personal assistant" - Alexa. Annabelle has been watching her elder brother Lucas (3), playing with the voice-activated gadget for months and picked up the most blurted word which was 'Alexa'. Catherine woke up one day and started saying the word multiple times and even kept blurting it as her baptism.
