Annoying instincts of Ella

When babies are born they have a number of built-in survival reflexes such as the sucking reflex and moro reflex. As they develop towards their first birthday a number of other reflex actions start to make an appearance. The purpose of these reflexes is not clear but it may be to test their parents patience. Ella has been showing the following reflexes:
- change table turnover -- must turn over when parent is trying to change nappy
- reject the last spoon of food --if there's one mouthful left must not eat it
- bed side drawer attraction -- must empty out contents of bedside drawer messily
