"She's the definition of a modern-day baby. We were just in shock. We use it with the kids to play nursery rhymes and Baby Shark. She’s become completely obsessed with the word and It’s got to the point now that when she wakes up from a sleep or nap she’ll start shouting 'Alexa' from her cot which helps us to know she has woken up." said Catherine Gates. The couple was gifted the virtual assistant Amazon Alexa on Christmas in the year 2017 by a family member and since then they use the device daily to play nursery rhymes.
