Mellie appeared on TLC’s Gypsy Sisters and showed how she makes Richard one of the “best dressed” babies.

The mother held the little tot tight and said, “Well we have baby Richard here and I’m going to show you some gypsy outfits that I’ve picked out for him.”

Showing off a stylish onesie, she explained: “That’s when I leave the house and run errands.

“Of course he has to wear his jewelry.”

Dressing him for the day, Mellie said: ‘Even gypsy boys need to be dressed up just as much as a girl and just as much as us.

“When Baby Richard left the hospital, he went into bling. On the day he was born he already had his boxing gloves around his neck.

“As much as we like bling, we love it on our kids, even boys as much as girls.”

Speaking of her tot, who is almost a year old, Mellie said: “I can’t wait to dress him up as a grown little gypsy boy with his hair up and gold chains around his neck and all.

“The older he gets the more excited I get – which doesn’t mean I’m not excited now, I love the kid.”

“Baby Richard’s t-shirt says ‘Mumma’s little boy’ and of course he’s a mama’s boy and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”

Mellie said Richard has the personality of her and her partner Robbie and that he is “very, very stubborn”.

She explained: “He’s already my ruler – I’m not allowed to leave the house unless he wants to start screaming and crying.

“He’s already talking, he says ‘Hey’ and he calls my mom ‘Geeky.’

“Doctors say he is above his age in terms of weight, height and speech.

“I have to say I have a smart kid.”

Many people were quick to comment on the video, and one said, “Richard is sooo cute.”

Another added: “Aww she’s a wonderful mum, love the outfits.”
