They're cyclic, so which one comes "first" depends on where you define the start point. One easy way to remember it is that the lighted portion of the moon looks like the letters DOC in that order (with the new moon occuring at both the beginning and end of that sequence).
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
