awe, aww

Awe or awe means a feeling of reverence or wonder before a sublime or imposing thing, place or idea--
As he stood and looked at the mountains, he felt a profound awe.
It may be a coincidence, but it inspires awe, just the same.

Aw or aw ( sometimes spelled aww, rhymes with awe ) is an imitation of the sound people make before something or someone cute and adorable--
Aw! What a cute puppy!
Look at the baby! Aww, he's adorable in his little suit.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Aww! The baby is so cute. We felt such awe when we watched him being born."
