Waxing gibbous
Full
During a full moon, the Moon is positioned directly opposite the Sun in the sky, with the Earth positioned in between them. This alignment allows the Sun's light to fully illuminate the side of the Moon that faces Earth, making it appear bright and round. As a result, the full moon occurs when the Moon is at its full phase in its orbit around the Earth.

They all do, if you just wait long enough. (You never have to wait longer than 29.5 days,because all of the phases repeat with that period.)The phase that immediately follows hard upon the waxing gibous is the Full Moon.
The phase that occurs between the first quarter and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing in size, moving towards the full moon phase.
The waxing phase of the moon is the period of time between new moon and full moon, where the size of the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing. The waning phase of the moon is the period of time between full moon and new moon, where the size of the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.

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.
The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
When Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon, and the Moon is in its full phase, a lunar eclipse occurs. This happens when Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, causing it to darken and appear reddish in color.
A lunar eclipse can occur only during a full moon phase, when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.
The waning gibbous moon does.
