Waxing
When the lit part of the Moon grows larger, it is in the phase known as "waxing." This phase occurs after the New Moon and leads up to the Full Moon. During this time, more of the Moon's surface becomes illuminated as seen from Earth, transitioning from a crescent to a gibbous shape.
The Earth blocks out some of the light from the sun going to the moon so a part of it has no light

The Moon reflects PART of the light it receives from the Sun. And part of this reflected light is seen by us, here on Earth.

After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
