I found and fell in love with these dolls months ago.
And it didn’t take me long to find a holiday to justify buying one for each of my girls.
I just didn’t know which holiday that would be.
Turns out they arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Which is actually perfect, for several reasons.
First of all, these sweet dolls are soft, squishy and downright adorable.
What’s not to love.
Secondly, they are personalized. Each doll has our girl’s name written across her chest. Along with a Bible verse, chosen with each daughter in mind.
To remind them not only how much we love them, but how much He loves them.
And, they arrived *surprise!* dressed in the girls favorite colors. Orange for Sophie and pink for Isabelle.
They think that’s pretty cool, too.
Neither of the girls were expecting such a neat-o gift on Valentine’s Day. We typically go the cheap simple route and stick with candy and a special dinner.
But I’d ordered these dolls back at Thanksgiving, knowing it would be months before they were cut, sewn and created… just for my girls.
Seems I had to get in line behind lots of other folks that dig Baby Be Blessed Dolls, too.
So, really, their arrival was perfectly timed.
And I can take absolutely no credit.
But I can take pictures.
And relish the moment when girl first meets doll.
And love blooms.
Hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day.
And I hope, for your man’s sake, you get your heart’s desire on this special day.
I already got mine two blissful nights ago… in the form of a heated mattress pad. My man knows his woman well.
The only thing that’s missing is a box of See’s Chocolates. Let’s see if he knows his woman that well….

OK Miss Stefanie…between you & Sara (at Football & Fried Rice) I just might have to break down and get two…or three of these dolls! They are truly adorable and something I know the girls would love…As I can see from your girls' precious faces ~ they were a hit!
Thank You for sharing…
What a perfect V-Day gift for the girls! I love them! Cute pictures!
This is not the first time that I've seen those dolls. I remember thinking some time ago that I wanted to get one for Kylie. Now I'll just order two…
The smiles and sheer joy that you captured on Sophie and Isabelle's faces is priceless. Such beautiful girls, such happiness.
Have a wonderful day!
Those dolls are super cute!
This is my first time doing the snapshot sunday and it was kind of fun! Thanks for starting it.
Oh my gosh!!! Those dolls are too cute, just like their new "mommas"!!
What a sweet gift, I must get one for my daughter! Happy Valentine's day.
That does it!
I am going to have to order my doll for Lucy!
So precious to see such love blooming!
Kung Hei Fat Choy!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong!

Those pictures showing the girls' names and scriptures totally made me cry!
We are celebrating CNY today and not so much Valentine's Day.
The kids got chocolates a few days ago…and today…the big celebration with our small group…everyone is bringing a Chinese dish to share and we are going to have a time of worship. We are all so excited! 🙂
I better get those ordered for both my girls!!! 🙂
What adorable pictures…I can hardly wait for ours…I ordered one each for two of my sons birthdays. I plan to give each child one this year at their bd so that they will all have a special doll with their name and a blessing.
What a great idea. Love the pictures. So sweet. Your girls are beautiful!
Such special dolls for your special girls. A perfect Valentine's Day gift!
You can tell they just adore their new babies! Great job, Mom! 😉
I might have to get one of these sweet dolls for my Sadie, too! 😉
I really want to get Maggie one of these, but she is so not into dolls. So maybe when she can appreciate it. Great pics as always Stephanie~
I love the BBB dolls!! You reminded me to go on and order one. When I asked Charlotte which one she liked the most she of course pointed to the Maria Sue doll. They are just too precious (your girls and the dolls!) Happy Valentine's Day!
Those dolls are absolutely precious! I love your taste, but my pocketbook doesn't! I love all your finds you post! Your photos are adorable, you can tell the girls are loving those babies already! Happy Valentine's Day AND Happy New Year!
I just ordered two of these for a friend who just came home form CHina (I hope they don't take 4 months to get to her:) I would love to order one for Kate for her b-day so maybe I ought to do that ASAP…her b-day is in June. I had not idea they were that popular.
The dolls are just PERFECT! Just darling.
WE got a heated mattress pad for Christmas…I was a skeptic AT FIRST…now I cannot believe how much I love the PURE DECADENCE of it! COZY!
I love the colors on Isabelle's doll! That would be my pick. Did you get the See's? My in-laws flew in from the west coast just in time to deliver mine on Friday… the box is already half gone. 😉
LOVE those dollies! Happy Valentine's day AND Happy New year 😉
Well, and not to mention that 100% of the proceeds (of the Maria Sue doll!) goes to MBHOH (idea to my heart since Mya is a Luoyang girl!!) I have the prefect verse already picked out for ours 🙂
Those babies are GORGEOUS…and the dolls are cute too!
You sure do know how to pick'em…great gifts for your little angels.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hi Stefanie,
I am interested in volunteering/working in China. I have no idea where to begin looking and thought you might be able to point me in the right direction. Email me at meghan.elisabeth.anderson@gmail.com.
Thanks so much,
Meg
Sister to SarahPearl
I just love these dolls! Your girls are beautiful as well… Happy New Year!
i don't think these girls…OR the dolls…could get any cuter.
Oh Stefanie!! I contacted Baby Be blessed in the summer and they said it would be MONTHS til any new orders would be filled, so I caved and abandoned ship! Now, I HAVE to go back and get back in line!! My issue is that I need a cutie little black haired one and a RED haired one, silly girls with different hair! :)Thanks for this post, it confirms I NEED to get these!
Have a great day, girl!
Heather
