The Moon is Waning at this time - growing smaller - light is on the left side and right side is darker each night. Or as stated from another web search "As the moon orbits the Earth, we see the moon in differing amounts of the sun's light. When the moon is farthest from the sun, the side facing Earth is in full sunlight. When it's closest to the sun, the side we see is in full shadow, and is called "New moon." In between those two phases, which are about 2 weeks apart, there's the "Waning moon", which means the sunlit side we see is getting smaller day to day, and then there's the "Waxing moon", which means that the sunlit side we see is getting larger day to day."

How can an observer on Earth recognize waxing from waning?
An observer on Earth can recognize waxing and waning phases of the Moon based on the illuminated portion of the Moon's surface visible from Earth. During the waxing phase, the illuminated portion increases from right to left, while during the waning phase, the illuminated portion decreases from right to left. To remember this, you can think of the letter "D" for waxing (like the shape of the letter as it increases in size) and the letter "C" for waning (like the shape of the letter as it decreases in size).
