The waxing gibbous phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases. A full moon is when we can see the entire lit portion of the Moon. The full moon phase occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, called opposition

Changes in the Moon’s position as it revolves around the Earth results in more or less of the sunlight reflected from the Moon being visible when observing the Moon from the Earth. This causes the Moon to appear to change shape from Earth.

The Moon rotates on its axis and revolves around the Earth as the Earth revolves around the Sun.
It takes about 27 Earth days for the Moon to rotate on its axis and about 29 ½ Earth days (month) for it to revolve around the Earth.
Because the Moon’s period (time) of rotation on its axis and period of revolution around the Earth are nearly the same, the same side of the Moon always faces Earth.

Phases of the Moon
New Moon- The Moon is positioned between the Sun and the Earth so that the side of the Moon that is viewed from Earth is cannot be seen. Because of this, there appears to be no Moon in the night sky.
Full Moon- The Sunlit portion of the Moon is facing the Earth while the Earth is positioned between the Sun and Moon. The Moon is visible in the sky.
The Sunlit portion of the Moon that is visible from Earth appears to either increase (waxes) or decrease (wanes), as the Moon orbits the Earth.
Crescent Moon-either waxing or waning; less than ½ of the Sunlit portion of the Moon is visible.
Gibbous Moon-either waxing or waning; Greater than ½ of the Sunlit portion of the Moon is visible.
First/Third Quarter-1/2 of the Sunlit portion of the Moon is visible.
A first quarter follows the waxing crescent.
A third quarter occurs when ½ of the Moon is visible.
