I’m a gypsy mum and I love dressing my baby in ‘bling’ including leather caps & diamonds – his first outfit was amazing
MANY mums take pride in how their babies look and what they wear.
But gypsy mum Mellie goes above and beyond for her baby Richard – dressing him in leather caps, diamonds and an array of “bling” outfits.
Mellie appeared on TLC’s Gypsy Sisters and showed how she makes Richard one of the “best dressed” babies around.
Holding the young tot, the mum said: “Well, we have baby Richard here and I’m going to show you a few gypsy outfits that I have picked out for him.”
Showing off a stylish onesie, she explained: “This is if I’m leaving the house and going to run errands.
“Of course he’s got to have his jewellery on.”

Mellie dressed him up for the day and said: “Even gyspy boys have to get blinged out just as much as a girl and just as much as we do.
“When baby Richard left the hospital he left in bling. The day he was born he already had his boxing gloves around his neck.
“Just as much as we like bling, we love it on our children, even boys just as much as girls.”
Speaking of her tot, who is nearly one, Mellie said: “I can’t wait to get him dressed out as a full-blown little gypsy boy with his hair spiked up and gold chains around his neck and all that.

“The older he gets the more excited I get – not saying I’m not excited now, I love the kid.”
“Baby Richard’s shirt says ‘mumma’s little boy’ and of course he is a mumma’s boy and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”
Mellie said Richard has her and her partner Robbie’s personality and he is “very very stubborn.”

She explained: “He’s already my ruler – I’m not allowed to walk out of the house unless he wants to start screaming and crying.
“He’s already talking, he’ll say ‘hey’ and he calls my mum ‘geeky’.
“The doctors say that he’s above his age, in weight, height and talking-wise.
